FOXGLUV themselves were a San Francisco collective of musicians and artists including both Lux D'Coda and Sly Baba on vocals with DJ Kin on production and a revolving crew of various guest players. Part of the scene in and around the mid 2000's West Coast, lyrically the band embraced a modern (albeit twisted) daisy-age Hippie aesthetic while creating a sound that was a funky electronic minimalism way ahead of its time. Evolving out of the Californian rave scene, this all made perfect sense at the time, to the extent that major label WEA funded the recording of their debut album and Lux D'Coda appears in the documentary BETWEEN THE BEATS (2024) here - https://youtu.be/UryivklunQ4?si=XVkFb8xI5M2VvvlX&t=59.

True to form, the full LIVE incarnation of the band also stretched to multiple musicians and alternative performers on stage so that a reputation was built as a LIVE ACT, most notably at FESTIVALS like the world-famous BURNING MAN.

LYRICS:

Oh do you?

Late at night
I lay me down to sleep
Shadow puppets dance in the golden-green
Breathing light of an attractor beam

Levitating on up to the mothership
Or should I say in? 'Cuz everything was flipped
Singing in the flowers, fold a wrinkle in rhyme
Was this just a dream?
Was it all in my mind?
U.F.O.X.G.L.U.V
Electromagnetic
Currents of the sea
Ultra-dimensionals
Afronauts and E.T
Vegans or vagan
You ain't seen nothin' yeti

Close encounters of the 33rd kind
Bindu's bandwidths bend and bind
Receivers, splinters of the mind's Eye
Ohms to Mega Hertz, VR to AI
Now realer than real
My eyes rolled back
A hundred femaliens
And they were lookin' for a mack
A sugar daddy
This is a science-fact
Chromasoma X
This is what they lacked!
My head started spinning when they put me on the rack
Like a wrecking ball, the walls start to fall
Caving in the Pleiades crawl
All over me - they were 7 feet tall
Totally crucial y'all
Foxy fine nymphets
And prime-time bandits
Hit me with a probe, taste test, no sweat
This Twilight Zone was gettin' wild and wet
Outer limits of the Inner
I play the creature's pet

XXX files
Super psychedelic sex
Sci-fi style
With the special FX

You'll never believe what happened next
The best of both worlds
That's a sure bet
Open doors portals, Montauk Project
Light years ahead of my time
You know I'm qualified to satisfy
Especially when my life is on the line
Rockin' the rocketship
No woman, no cry
I awoke to silhouettes of the dream
You wouldn't believe what I was seeing
Crop circles were carved in my bed
And this little tune was playing in my head

Crop circles were carved in my bed
And this little tune was playing in my head
It said
Angel alien
Alliance of Amazons
Valkyrie warriors
From beyond the beyond

XXX files
Super psychedelic sex
Sci-fi style
With the special FX

XXX files
From Beyond, Beyond
A XXX (Beyond)
Beyond Beyond
From beyond beyond
Come on I'm gonna shake it down (shake it down)
XXX files

Yo you look good
Yo baby you're cute enough
You got the vibe
And the other fine stuff
A Chromosome's
In my double-door
We're gonna beam you up
And then we'll take you home

XXX files
Super psychedelic sex
Sci-fi style
With the special FX

From beyond beyond
(Beyond)

Oh your girl don't know way to wire airways
This little tune was going round in your head
