At least it sure sounds that way according to the recent output from Portland based Post-Yacht Rock outfit Fox and Bones, whose best work is coming directly following their split as a romantic duo. Or perhaps it was the addition of internationally acclaimed songwriter Greg Holden, who joined the project as a producer for their 2024 album “Long Time Honey” and upcoming fifth studio record “Are We Still Having Fun”, scheduled for release September of 2026. Regardless of what has codified the group, the musical result is undeniable. “Are We Still Having Fun” is an expansive step forward for the band, both lyrically and sonically, as the duo tackles technology, the modern political climate, anxiety, party culture and mental health under a musical tapestry that ranges from their familiar retro folk rock to modern Bleachers-esque indi-pop. It is a plunge into the deep end after years of swimming on the surface. When combined with Holden’s surgical production and lyrical input, “Are We Still Having Fun” is primed to be Fox and Bones best record yet. And after ten years and 200,000 miles, it better be. Fox and Bones has toured tirelessly in their career, sharing stages with the likes of Rayland Baxter, The Dead South, ZZ Ward, Fantastic Cat, ALO and Glitterfox among others and have been awarded first place at the 2023 Tucson Folk Festival songwriting contest and second place in the International Acoustic Music Awards along with earning the Best Folk/Americana Album of 2024 by the PNW Music Awards. In their spare moments they’ve founded and run Portland’s Folk Festival, an annual celebration of folk and roots music hosted by the iconic Crystal Ballroom in their hometown of Portland, Oregon. KEYAN KEIHANI Keyan Keihani is a singer-songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. His music is based on a sparse Americana backdrop and an ability to engage listeners with honest and raw lyrical content. It has been featured on No Depression, Paste Magazine, Twang Nation and was named “New and Notable” on Noisetrade in 2015. He has shared billings with Jamestown Revival, Sturgill Simpson, J.D. Wilkes, David Ramirez, William Elliott Whitmore and Jason Eady. In 2015, Keihani released Dark Saints as a stripped down collection of songs that are deceptively simple and haunting. No Depression referred to it as a “powerful record that is driven by Keihani’s unique, no frills voice that is part country, part folk, and most of all, sincere.” In 2016, Keihani provided support on several regional tours and was named a finalist for the Deli Magazine’s “Emerging Roots Artist of the Year.” Keihani’s latest album, Harder to Love, is available everywhere now.
