   About Fabulous Foxes
FABULOUS FOXES are one of the more promising young groups to emerge on the Leicester music scene in quite a while. The line-up is somewhat fluid, but always based around the song-writing talents and warped genius of Bob Cluley. Their live shows are often anarchic, but never anything less than hugely entertaining.
- www.bbc.co.uk

FABULOUS FOXES draw from the same mixture of folk, psychedelia and general all-round strangeness that propelled Neutral Milk Hotel and associated Elephant Sixers to prominence, mixed with the simplified immediacy (though none of the grumpiness) of Sir Bob Dylan. Their constant reinvention has made them one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Leicester in recent years. Songs of heartbreak and life troubles never sounded so sweet.
- Damn You!

You have to ask: are we watching a genius or toss? Eventually he ditched the stage and performed a song standing on the bar with an acoustic guitar, and without amplification or microphone he captivated the 100-stong audience into hushed silence. You suspect it might just be genius.
- Joyzine.co.uk

Fabulous Foxes live experiences have a tendency to veer closer to unintentional performance art than music, regularly attracting such superlatives as “shambolic”, “incompetent”, “confusing”, “rude” etc., which obviously is great, but I’d argue that whatever happens, you can usually hear the inherent qualities of Bob’s songs shining through.
- Stereo Sanctity

Veterans of several hilariously shambolic botched performances at local gigs, and a seemingly ever-shifting line-up, The Fabulous Foxes seem pretty nervous about actually playing before a quiet, attentive audience. Although still applaudably short and silly, their set is a surprisingly restrained and gentle affair, with a lack of noise and chaos instead placing the emphasis on singer Bobs shy and ruminative minimalist pop ditties which turn out to be ever so nice.
- Plan B Magazine

"...there's a unique quality to Bob's songs, marked by a diction and vocabulary that are very much rooted in something (at least to me) that's very English sounding. But there's a certain vulnerability, and a greater emphasis on lyrical content here, that mark an important difference."
