Married Bakersfield, California-based dreampop duo Fawns of Love returns hot on the heels
of early 2017’s debut album Who Cares About Tomorrow with a new
double-A side 7-inch and cassette “Falling /
Standing,” to be released in that most physical of forms on July 7th, 2017. 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 that’s what the Andreottis did.
“We recorded ‘Falling’
and ‘Standing’ in our apartment
during our spring break from teaching,” Joseph
explains. “We 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.”
Taking notes, kids? These specifics will be on the
quiz!
Quiz: How long have the Andreottis been making music?
Answer: Married for 13 years, and performing together
for 16, the duo has variously recorded and toured throughout that time under
the names Funeral Club and Peppermint Kisses, releasing records
with RCRD LBL, Plastiq Musiq, and several others along the way. In 2013, they
began a break when Jenny enrolled in
a history graduate program, but by 2017, it was time to begin being a band
again, including choosing a new name.
Quiz: How did Fawns
of Love choose the name Fawns of
Love?
“One of our favorite records is Hounds of Love by Kate Bush,” Joseph says. “We wanted a name that would pay homage to that
record.”
Diving back into creating, the Andreottis decided to do something new with their latest musical
inspiration, bringing their love of not only Ms. Bush, but also My Bloody
Valentine, Blur, Pulp, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The
Chills, along with the aforementioned Cocteau
Twins and Slowdive to the new
project.
And Sparks.
In Jenny’s case, lots of Sparks.
“To prepare for this album, I listened to every era of
Sparks every chance I got,” she
says. “What did I learn? That there is only one Sparks, so I better find a voice that works for me. I must say I am
pleased with the results.”
Indeed, Fawns
of Love takes all of these legendary sounds, which some immediately think
of as cold or aloof, and makes them pop with overtones of The Smiths, New Order,
and the undeniable warmth that comes from the Andreotti’s many years of making music together.
Look out for the “Falling
/ Standing” 7-inch and cassette by Fawns of Love
on July 7th. The duo’s
debut album Who Cares About Tomorrow is out now. Jenny and Joseph Andreotti
are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
