WAX IDOLS // waxidols.bandcamp.com/ Wax Idols are a four-piece based out of Oakland, CA. Their forthcoming (and fourth) album Happy Ending is set to be released in Spring 2018, exploring the abstraction & finality of death from both philosophical/political and personal perspectives. This dual theme of political anxiety and personal experience is one Fortune began exploring in seriousness on Wax Idols’ critically-acclaimed third album, American Tragic, which Pitchfork proclaimed “smartly unpacks a pretty universal experience—the sadness, nostalgia, and occasional euphoria involved in letting go of something you once cared about, even when it desperately hurts.” American Tragic was recently reissued on the band’s label Etruscan Gold Records, with a limited-edition alternate cover & remix of the standout single "Deborah" by the band’s own Peter Lightning.
