Foot Ox - "Topanga Canyon" LP

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER. ITEMS WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL NOV 2026

Topanga Canyon began when Cullen was invited to spend a
week recording at the canyon home Germaine Dunes shares
with Buck Meek and their dog, Ringo. With the session
already on the calendar, Cullen wrote the album over the
course of a single spring, bringing a new collection of songs
to California to record mostly live alongside members of
Kisser, AJJ, Pigeon Pit, iji, Lake, and Foot Ox's Oregon
lineup. Engineered by Dunes and Carly Bond, the sessions
unfolded across the house and its front porch, allowing
birds, airplanes, wind, conversation, and the natural sound
of the canyon to become part of the recordings. What began
as a Foot Ox album gradually grew into a deeply
collaborative document of a particular place, a particular
group of friends, and a brief moment built around trust,
intuition, and chance.

Foot Ox is an experimental folk band from Portland,
Oregon, originally formed by songwriter Teague Cullen in
Tempe, Arizona, in 2007. More than a fixed lineup, Foot Ox
has always been a revolving door of friends and
collaborators, with each recording taking shape around the
people who happen to be in the room. Inspired by dreams
and old films, the songs drift through love, grief, humor,
landscapes, and hope using abstract imagery and subtle,
unconventional arrangements. Whether stripped down to
always embraced contrast, allowing each record to become a
document of the friendships that made it poss
