Indoor Foxes, Scottish born singer and songwriter, makes indie rock music, described as “Courtney Love meets Paris Hilton vibes; a bit pretty and very, very loud”. Indoor Foxes is the moniker of Martha Barr, who cites artists like Wolf Alice, Phoebe Bridgers, Paramore, and Fatherson as her main inspiration. To Martha, Indoor Foxes is a vehicle of expression; a cooler and braver version of herself, “I almost idolise this half-character I have in ‘her’. It feels like wearing your favourite outrageous jacket or a really big pair of stompy boots when I move through the world as Indoor Foxes.” The name Indoor Foxes was coined a few years ago, inspired by an influencer named Feral Creatures. Indoor Foxes was born when she switched the word ‘feral’ for Indoor and creatures for her favourite animal ‘fox’.
Her new single White Rabbit addresses feelings of innocence and self-destruction in relationships, “To ‘kill the white rabbit in me’ is to destroy that childlike-innocent optimism. There's a kind of double consciousness to it where I’m asking to be destroyed, while not really knowing what that means. It romanticises self-destruction. I wanted the song to cradle you through the complete obliteration of self you experience in a toxic relationship.”
Bringing girlhood into the Scottish rock tradition, Indoor Foxes addresses feelings of girlhood in her music and lyrically navigates her experience of it, “I like to be able to rage at pain and not shy away from that. We get to be angry when we’re hurt, and we get to be afraid. I like addressing these perceived humiliations…I still feel a bit like a little girl on the inside a lot, making loud guitar-forward music gives me that freedom to be a truly angry young woman.”
It’s set to be a big year for Indoor Foxes. Currently writing with Ross Leighton of Fatherson and working with producer Jamie Holmes (Joesef and Gerry Cinnamon), Indoor Foxes is determined to keep her music as big and honest as possible. Cited as one to watch by Wide Days and with support from Tenement TV, keep listening for more noise, more music, and more Indoor Foxes.
