“The soft gauze of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive.
Perfectly woozy.” — FLOOD
“Captures turmoil through impenetrable sonic textures
and emotionally thick lyrics.” — Atwood Magazine
“One of our favorite records is Hounds of Love by Kate Bush,” explains Joseph Andreotti, who along with his
wife Jenny, comprises the
Bakersfield, California-based duo, Fawns
of Love. “We wanted a name that would pay homage to that record.” Fawns of Love will release its debut
album Who Cares About Tomorrow on March 3rd, 2017.
It’s not the first time the Andreottis have chosen a band name. 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. Then, in early 2013, Jenny enrolled
in a history graduate program.
“It was the first time since knowing each other that
we didn’t make music together,” Joseph
says. “But when she graduated last spring, we became anxious to start making
music again.”
This time, the Andreottis
were inspired to do something new with their latest musical inspiration,
bringing their love of not only Ms. Bush,
but also Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Pulp, Slowdive, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Chills to the new project. And Sparks. In Jenny’s case, lots of Sparks.
Obviously, there is obsessive joy in the Fawns of Love
take on shoegaze. That said, there is also self-reflection that contributes to
taking these songs to the next level, especially on the autobiographical single “That’sWhat We Do,” which contains the lyric, “Let’s drink and drink some
more, We’ll burn this place down to the floor.”
Jenny is
candid about the personal song, explaining, “I have never had a lot of friends,
I’ve had a lot of acquaintances. However, during the past few years I have made
some dear friends that I have fallen completely in love with. We get drunk on
the weekends, get loud, and have a fantastic time together to the detriment of
absolutely everyone around us.”
Joseph has his own take on this theme of overcoming
alienation, saying, “It’s a tribute to a city that is notorious for being on
every “worst of” list – worst air pollution, least literate, most DUIs – and
making the best of it, finding a little oasis of friends, going out on the
weekends, and forgetting about your problems.”
As for the music video for the
track, Jenny explains that it is “similar to Kate Bush’s video for ‘The Red Shoes,’
incorporating alternate realities, dance, temptation, and the theme of
transformation.”
Pondering love, and love lost in the many forms it
takes, Who
Cares About Tomorrow, the debut
album from Fawns of Love
(March 3rd, 2017), does the diva that inspired the band’s name, and
all of the notable influences heard throughout, quite proud.
