| Fawns of Love at The Echo |
Interview with the band. Enjoy:
How would you describe your sound? Four bands and albums in particular have influenced our sound: Sparks’ No. 1 in Heaven produced by Giorgio Moroder (this album is light years ahead of its’ time, and a few years back we got to see them play “The Number One Song in Heaven” live (during their Hippopotamus tour) and it was so beautiful we thought we had died and gone to heaven), New Order’s Power, Corruption & Lies, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love (our namesake kind of, Hounds of Love was already taken so we went with Fawns of Love instead), and Cocteau Twins’ Blue Bell Knoll.
What’s your favorite Fawns Of Love song and what makes it the favorite? With our latest record Permanent (Test Pattern Records) we were able to finally take our eclectic influences and create a cohesive sound. In particular, we are pleased with the tracks “Someday,” “December,” and “Permanent.” We owe a lot to Michael Stock (Part Time Punks) for being so supportive and for introducing us to Josiah Mazzaschi (Cave Studios, Light FM) who helped bring our sound to the next level.
Own final thoughts: The most frequently asked question at our shows is in regard to what Joseph is playing. To make a long story short, we are massive fans of Grinderman and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and once Warren Ellis came out with a tenor guitar for Eastwood, we just had to have it. We think it has a unique sound and is a major component of our sound.
