"In the green room before the last show of the reunion tour, we decided to make a new album,"
"There's so much optimism on this record. We approached it by bringing the energy we wanted into the room. When you lead with enthusiasm, it's magnetic, because it's absolutely real."
"Musically, 'Fighting Back' echoes the catchy propulsiveness of early Voxtrot, but my favorite element is the cornucopia of synths peppered throughout," says Ramesh. "Jason and I borrowed a Juno and went to town! I love the dark '80s atmosphere, and whenever I hear it, I picture the crimson-lit bar scenes in American Gigolo, which were filmed at the Beverly Hills Hotel... where I distinctly remember the doorman shouting that I had ten minutes to make my delivery before he was going to tow my car."
Austin indie band Voxtrot will release Dreamers in Exile on February 27 via their Cult Hero Records imprint. The album is the group's first full-length since 2007 and was produced and recorded by the band at bassist Jason Chronis' Haunted Air Studio, with mixing by Dean Reid. The lead single, "Fighting Back," channels early Voxtrot energy with prominent synth textures and was lyrically inspired by frontman Ramesh Srivastava's post-band courier experiences in Los Angeles. A video directed by Annie Gunn accompanies the single. Voxtrot also announced 2026 tour dates, including an April 10 Brooklyn show.
