Wish it would happen more often, but this is one of those rare occasions, where a random pick from the inbox turns out to be the soundtrack of my working day. Glancing through the mails this morning, one subject line saying something about a synth- shoegazing band releasing a new album caught my attention. It’s probably my bad that I hadn’t heard about Canadian 5-piece Faunts until I read that mail, but I won’t try to pretend that I had. So instead I’ll just be happy that I decided to read on, and that way got introduced to a quite interesting band. My experience with the band so far is the 7 tracks, which are free to download from the Friendly Fire Recordings webpage, and they are somewhat of a mixed bag. Primarily because the band is flirting with far more genres (dance, indie, electro, you name it) than just the aforementioned synth/shoegaze, and a few remixes help clouding the picture even further. But essentially there’s not a week track among these tracks, and the forthcoming album Feel.Love.Thinking.Of, which will be out on February 17, has suddenly found its way onto my radar.High Expectations/Low Results (album 2005)
