Erin McKeown is bringing her eclectic, genre-mashing, and always intriguing touch back to a world of music in continuous need of said qualities. To get audiences riled up, she’s shared “The Foxes,” a catchy little diddy about cunning and superficial lovers (the aforementioned title characters) and their victims. Interestingly, these affairs end up teaching the victims that they have recovered from previous heartbreaks.

At least, I think that’s what it’s about. Seriously, deciphering phrases like “the bed of trundle is done” makes my head hurt. I was never good at poetry.
