"We all know a few drummer jokes, right? How do you know when a drummer's at the door? He doesn't know when to come in! How do you know that the stage is level? The drummer drools out of both sides of his mouth! Did you hear about the heavy metal drummer that made an electronic album? Hold on... that last one isn't actually a joke. GDFX's One Thing is a full-length exploration of electronic psychedelia created from scratch by Greg Fox, drummer with one of 2011?s most divisive bands: Liturgy. Whilst for some reason that outfit seem to be top of most "real" metal-heads' shit-lists, their new album has proved a big hit with pretty much everyone else, thanks in no small part to Fox's awe-inspiring rhythmic assaults; still, I have to admit I was surprised at how accomplished One Thing feels. Incorporating chopped 'n' screwed hip-hop, motorik trance, technicolour electro, droning synths, blissful ambience and harsh white noise, the album is as well-produced and varied as Four Tet as his toughest. Between this, Liturgy, his work as part of the Boredoms' Boadrum, Guardian Alien and his Man Forever project with Oneida's Kid Millions, Fox is fast establishing himself as a real singular talent." -FOAMHANDS

"Greg Fox initiated his solo project, GDFX, so that he could "have an opportunity to experiment outside of all the other projects that I've been involved with." Apparently he had a lot of spare time to kill, what with playing in Liturgy, Teeth Mountain, Family of Love and Dan Deacon's touring ensemble, and running the record label Infinite Limbs." -impose magazine

"...one of the most exciting drummers I've seen recently in any kind of music" -Ben Ratliff, New York Times

"The percussionist Greg Fox is one of the most colorful figures of the East Coast underground. His solo project [is] GDFX, a one-man transcendental freakout that finds Fox alternating between a trap set and various outmoded electronics." - the New Yorker magazine
