Draw Down the Moon is the fourth studio album by
American rock band,
Foxing . The album was released on August 6, 2021 through
Hopeless Records .
Recording and production
The
disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple difficulties for Foxing. They had planned to "road test" a handful of songs on Draw Down the Moon during a May 2020 tour with
Bent Knee before the virus brought touring to a halt, and to make up for the lost income usually provided by touring, Murphy and guitarist Eric Hudson both began offering music lessons over
Skype .
[7] Guitarist Ricky Sampson, meanwhile, left the band in October 2020, citing a desire for stability that the music industry could not provide.

Draw Down the Moon was met with mostly positive reviews from music critics. At
Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Draw Down the Moon has an
average score of 80 based on nine reviews.
