Mixing the best bits of country and folk-pop, Browning’s self-financed debut album ‘Dust Bowl Revival’ is quite the stunner. Fans of Adams’ early work in particular, as well as more traditional strands of the genre, will find much to love about Ox. You can download standout track ‘Transam’ by clicking here and marvel at a song that manages to combine the James Bond Theme with REM-stylings and still sound wonderfully unique.
The band, who’ve already taken their native country by storm, will be recording live sessions for Virgin FM and Dublin’s Today FM, as well as appearing on Gideon Coe’s 6music show on April 23rd. Ox will be playing the following dates:
