FAWNS OF LOVE – “STANDING”
A Spill Exclusive Musicย Premiere
Married Bakersfield, California-based dreampop duo Fawns of Love returns hot on the heels of early 2017โs debut album Who Cares About Tomorrow with a new double-A side 7-inch โFalling / Standing,โ to be released in that most physical of forms on July 7th, 2017.
FLOOD called Joseph and Jenny Andreottiโs debut โperfectly woozy,โ evoking โthe soft gauze of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive.โ MAGNET said it โdrifts along dreamily,โ and The Big Takeover noted the โobsessive joy in Fawns of Loveโs take on shoegaze.โ
As the debut Fawns of Love album was released, and students headed to the beach for spring break, their teachers headed to the recording studio. At least thatโs what the Andreottis did.
โWe recorded โFallingโ and โStandingโ in our apartment during our spring break from teaching,โ Joseph explains. โWe used a vintage reel-to-reel, Korg MS-20 synthesizer, Korg SQ-1, and Electro-Harmonix analog guitar pedals alongside Logic. A Warren Ellis signature Eastwood Tenor Guitar was used as was a Fender Jaguar bass guitar.โ
โI have daydreamed since I was a small girl and even my daydreams have become so realistic that even the people in my fantasies insult me,” Jenny explains about “Standing”. “So I go back and forth. When I get frustrated with real people I go into my fantasies and when my fantasies become too real I go back to reality. When you are attending funerals in your alternate reality perhaps it is time to imagine a new scenario.”
Look out for the โFalling / Standingโ 7-inch by Fawns of Love on July 7th. The duoโs debut album Who Cares About Tomorrowย is out now.
