My favorite band, Fair, released their new album this week. You can hear the full album here: http://bit.ly/dwfair
Fair’s first album, The Best Worst-Case Scenario, was an absolute masterpiece. I shared it with a few friends and it invariably ended up in heavy rotation on their music players. The new release, Disappearing World, is a little darker and has a bit of a retro feel to it. I’ve listened through it a few times now, and while I’d have loved a clone of the first record, I like how this one turns the “poppiness” down just a touch and introduces a bit more track-to-track variety.
If you’ve only got time for one song, check out track 4, “One Last Time”. It’s a straight-up rocker and reminiscent of my favorite song, “Cut Down Sideways” from the first record.
The other two “catchiest” tunes on the record are “Walking in My Sleep” and the title track. However, the one that is really growing on me is the most “retro” of the bunch, “Take Some Risks.”
You can buy their CDs from their label (Tooth and Nail) here. Digital downloads are available from iTunes.
