Living in the Shadow of the Bat is just as diverse lyrically as it is musically. Sometimes Maz takes on the deepest of topics, such as consoling a parent who lost a child ("Ms. Genova"), or sometimes he just spills out phrases with reckless abandon. "James Spader", titled after the Sex, Lies and Videotape and The Practice star, is a prime example of the latter. "Fish had a verse for that song for the longest time and we said, 'Let's just play the verse 'till we get to the chorus and see what comes out,'" Maz said. "What came out seemed like a good fit for a chorus that was going to be super aggressive. It was just a good play on the fact that Spader usually plays understated yet powerful roles."
Tin Foil Phoenix hesitates to label their band or make comparisons to other artists, leaving any interpretations open to their fans. As Kray says, "There's an element of everything in the music. Fans are free to put us where they want us." TFP are happy to be where they are; a working band, poised to bring their music to the eager masses. Call it divine intervention, call it justice or call it luck, the band have something to give back to music lovers everywhere - their art for their fans’ sake.
