Album Notes

Here's what people are saying:

Busy in the studio, Wax Fingers have a new arsenal to draw from, and it’s some of the smartest music in the present Portland circuit. Built out of the same math-rock backbone, there’s a new layer of tempered chaos. There’s percussion all over the stage, from where it’s expected on the trap set to electric guitar neck plucking and rhythm guitar hammering. It’s as though Yes were reunited and asked to cover Animal Collective’s Feels. – Willamette Week

With one foot planted firmly in an experimental psychedelic stew, and the other tippy-toed on a tight wire of spastic instrumental noodling, Wax Fingers succeed in injecting their plunky pop with depth, but without the pretension…
– The Deli Portland

Local standout Wax Fingers is a trio of musically intrepid laborers, constructing exploratory brain-rock tracks of immense feeling and discipline. Often substituting lyrics for funky, ever-transitioning guitarspeak, Wax Fingers embodies artful minimalism. Its gusto emanates from radiating strings and complex percussion instead… – Willamette Week

Thanks to Wax FIngers and their new song, “Sticky Bees,” I now know what it would sound like 20,000 leagues under the sea. – Melophobe

When a group like Wax Fingers sends me a track, I just feel blessed to live where I live. – Casey Jarman, Willamette Week
