Fawns of Love
is the California-based husband and wife duo of Jenny and Joseph Andreotti. While Fawns of Love is still a relatively new project, the couple has been playing music together for 10+ years. Their intimate history shines through in the music, which radiates a natural beauty and warmth that sets them well apart from the crowd. True dedication to a dreamy lo-fi aesthetic is combined with glittering textures, skillful guitar work and gorgeous vocals -- and the results are stunning. The duo's forthcoming debut LP, Who Cares About Tomorrow, is set for release on March 3 and was mastered by DKFM's own Greg Wilson. A shimmering lead single, entitled "Silly Boy", has been keeping us sated as we anxiously await the album's full release. You can listen to that single below. Get to know Fawns of Love -- they're about to make a splash.
How
and when was the band formed?
Joseph:
Fawns of Love formed during the summer of 2016. Jenny and I have been together
for seventeen years now and we have been performing music ever since we met. We
had taken a hiatus while Jenny was getting her MA and making music on my own or
with someone else was not an option (it would have not gone over well with
Jenny). Once we began again we thought that our new music needed a new name.
Can
you tell us what the band has been working on and what you've got forthcoming
in the near future (any new releases, tour, etc.)?
Joseph:
We just finished our debut full-length, Who Cares About Tomorrow.
It will be out on cassette and in digital formats on March 3rd. We will be
performing two cassette release shows here in California on February 11th at
the Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles and March 11th at Sandrini’s in
Bakersfield. We will also be featured on The Blog That Celebrates Itself’s
Slowdive tribute album performing a cover version of “Alison,” which will be
released on February 14th.
Do
you consider your music to be part of the current shoegaze/dream pop scene, or
any scene? Defining one's sound by genre can be tiresome, but do you feel that
the band identifies closely with any genre? How do you feel about genres in
music, in a general sense?
Jenny:
We feel like we have really been embraced by Greg Wilson, DKFM, The Shoegaze
Collective, Primal Radio, Shoegazer Sanctuary, and by writers in the genre such
as yourself and The Blog That Celebrates Itself, and for someone who has always
felt like an outsider her whole life, it’s really nice. People have been
telling us that we are a combination of shoegaze, dream pop, and post-punk. I
think that sums it up nicely. I like genres. I think they are like clothing, a
way to express yourself. In high school I really believed I could say I liked
Britpop and that would define who I was. I think it still does. I like the
Jesus and Mary Chain; therefore my hairstyle is explained to the initiated.
