Missouri band Foxing were always on my periphery, their math-y art rock verging into emo territory a little too much for my taste. But. Last year’s Nearer My God—their third LP—grabbed my ears and wouldn’t let go. Among the highlights: the dark and driving “Lich Prince,” which reaches an exciting instrumental peak, its chorus an earnest falsetto-reaching howl of “I just want real love for you”;  the spooky, twisted, urgent kick and launch of “Gameshark”; and the desperately soaring title track.
