Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a distinct shift for the Chicago indie rock supergroup, 'The Fawn' heavily integrates synthesized textures and drum machine programming into their breezy, jazz-inflected guitar pop. Sam Prekop's breathy, whispered vocals gracefully float over the remarkably warm, rhythmically intricate arrangements, laying the groundwork for the emerging indietronica movement.
