Pet Fox Announce New Album Balance, Share Title Track

Boston indie-rock trio Pet Fox — featuring members of Ovlov and Gouge Away — have announced their fourth album, Balance, due October 23 via Exploding In Sound Records. The nine-song LP was recorded over seven days at Drop of Sun Studios with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Squirrel Flower), capturing the band’s textured, melodic songwriting with a more immediate live-band energy.

Along with the announcement, Pet Fox have shared the album’s title track, a restless opener built around jangling, distorted angular guitars, big melodies and a driving rhythm that pushes the song from a melodic mid-tempo start into an upbeat rocker. Vocalist/guitarist Theo Hartlett says the song comes from “fighting the balance of impulsivity versus indecision,” a theme that ties into the album’s broader focus on anxiety, self-care and learning to trust your instincts.

Balance arrives October 23, 2026 via Exploding In Sound Records.

FFO: Pinback, Sunny Day Real Estate, No Knife, Built to Spill, Dinosaur Jr.
