Foot Ox, the long-running experimental folk project led by Teague Cullen, returns this week with their new single “Bleached Yellow.” The track is the latest pre-release single from their upcoming album, A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes, out August 11 on Ernest Jenning Record Co. (pre-order).
“Bleached Yellow” captures the sun-bleached atmosphere of Arizona, drawing on Cullen’s experience of feeling emotionally burnt out yet pulled back toward connection. Cullen says, the song aims to evoke “that feeling of Arizona, where everything’s sun-bleached and washed out. It reflects that emotional burnout you feel sometimes, but there’s also that part where, even when you’re trying to pull away from someone or keep your distance, they just kind of draw you back in, and you end up caring about them anyway, trying these different configurations—so I guess it’s kind of about my own chaos.”

"Bleached Yellow" follows the album's lead single "Horseshoe" which is out now on all digital platforms for playlist shares.
Formed in 2007 and emerging from the fertile Phoenix-Tempe DIY scene (home to artists like AJJ, Stephen Steinbrink, and Roar), Foot Ox has curated a distinct sound that moves between folk, punk, country, and experimental rock. A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes was produced and mixed by David J at Balboa Recording Studio. The album pushes Foot Ox’s sonic palette further than ever, blending full string arrangements and an ensemble cast that includes Sean Bonnette and Preston Bryant (AJJ), Grant Berber (Sad Park), Lee Johnson (La Luz), Andrew Dorsett (Lake), Jim Rhian (Pigeon Pit), and Miriam Hacksaw (fiddle).
Written and recorded across years and life stages, A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes is a meditation on burnout and belonging, anchored by Cullen’s authentic voice and rich sense of place. The album traces the moods and mythologies of the American West, shifting nimbly from hushed, intimate moments to sweeping, full-band arrangements.
