The Hotelier and Foxing

The Hotelier is an American indie rock and emo band from Worcester, Massachusetts, formed in 2009. Known for their emotionally charged sound and introspective lyrics, they rose to prominence as leaders in the emo revival. Their acclaimed 2014 album, Home, Like Noplace Is There, is considered an essential emo album and features popular songs like "Your Deep Rest." They have performed at festivals such as Pitchfork Music Festival, being the first emo band to do so. Their discography also includes It Never Goes Out (2011) and Goodness (2016).

Foxing, from chamber emo with "The Albatross" to art pop with "Draw Down The Moon," are acclaimed for their dramatic dynamics. Self-produced and mixed by guitarist Eric Hudson, their self-titled LP "Foxing" showcases an artful balance of hope and chaos.
