NEWS & UPDATES
TALE OF THE FOOL ALBUM RELEASE 5/2
We cannot wait to release our new album TALE OF THE FOOL on 5/2 at 9PM PDT! We’ll be celebrating at the Goodfoot in Portland, OR (with our friends Band of Comerados) and at the Blue Moon in Seattle, WA (with our friends Tryin’). This is a digital only release (for now), and we hope you hop on and stream this badboy asap. Here are a couple words about it:
Who is The Fool, but a representative of each of our own feelings of confusion and bliss in this wild, jester’s world? A dive into the sounds of bluegrass and folk rock and a departure from Lost Ox’s previous funk and blues explorations, Tale of the Fool is Lost Ox’s fourth studio album, slated for release on May 3, 2024. With a definite nod to the 1960s folk rock revolution that redefined American music, Tale of the Fool represents the band’s finest singing and songwriting to date. The songs, written by guitarist and singer Dylan DiSalvio, feature authentic folk rock instrumentation, with mandolin and banjo featured on several tracks backed up by the more classic setting of drums, electric bass, and electric guitar. “We wanted to do something different,” says DiSalvio, “and bringing in this more diverse set of instruments and players really opened up the palette.”
Check out the singles Ripsaw Review and After the Flood for a little taste, and get those streams ready for the evening of 5/2!

DISPATCH FROM THE PATH TO EARTH: 2 - Demonstrations
Greetings Earthlings! We are mighty pleased to bring you this update & check in with you all on the journey of The Elastic Trans-Galactic Love Machine Express. We’ve been working hard on our DEMO! Demonstrating our capabilities is a crucial first-step to making our album. Since it requires so much coordination, high-tech comedy routines, interactive voice acting, badass musical love-shredding, and of course extra gazorkaphone solos, we need to plan everything out to the nanometer. Once we finish our demo we’ll be able to shop it around to potential producers, engineers, and studios, and then we can really begin the fun work of bringing this album to life in high quality 4D. Thanks again for your amazing support on this journey! More info soon!
