“We think Flying Nun had the coolest roster on the face of the planet during the 1980s and 1990s, and they still do,” says Joseph Andreotti of Fawns of Love about the inspirations behind the band’s new music video for the song “Zine Days,” taken from the married Bakersfield-based band’s upcoming 7-inch (out March 2nd.)

 “A lot of our favorite Flying Nun bands, like The Chills, The Bats, and The Clean, used stop motion in their music videos,” he continues. “We think those bands are ridiculously cool, and we want to be like them. We aimed to capture the theme of the song by surrounding Jenny (AndreottiJoseph’s wife and bandmate) with objects she would have used during her adolescence, and by making it in 3-D we thought it would be a nice way to overdose on nostalgia.”

 “Zine Days” adheres beautifully to the Andreotti’s most personal inspirations, from its title, to its inspired artwork, music video, and even a Spotify playlist the band created to act as a blueprint of the influences that went into the song’s creation.

The new single arrives a year after the band’s debut album Who Cares About Tomorrow, and is the follow-up to its mid-2017 single release “Falling/Standing,” which Paste called a “dreampop gem,” and was honored as one of the best songs of the year by Los Angeles-based radio show Part Time Punks and venerable indie rock bible The Big Takeover.

“Gone are the zine days, Gone are the me and you days,” Jenny sings.

‘Zine Days’ is a tribute to my teenage self, and a eulogy,” she explains. “I lost my eldest brother to cancer when I was fourteen, but he was sensitive to my growing pains even when his own life was tragically spiraling out of control. With ‘Zine Days’ I have done my best to capture that sense of innocence and loss.”

This depth of emotion comes to life in physical form with the single’s cover art which is viewable in 3-D and comes complete with glasses.

Both full-time teachers, the Andreottis have been married for 13 years, performing together for 16, and recording, touring and releasing music throughout that time under various band names.

“Zine Days” is the latest 7-inch by Fawns of Love, arriving on March 2nd, 2018. The single follows-up the band’s 2016 full-length Who Cares About Tomorrow and its mid-2017 single “Falling/Standing.” Jenny and Joseph Andreotti are available for interviews.
