| The Fauns - Seven Hours |
If it's possible to fall in love
with a voice then consider me smitten with the vocal talents of one Alison
Garner. Ms Garner is the voice of atmospheric indie stompers The Fauns and hers
is the angelic tone that drifts across the wall of noise that is created by the
band with impressive gusto. 'Seven Hours' is, confusingly, a five minute long
barrage on the senses but, much like standing in the face of a strong wind on a
coastal wall, it is a barrage that I wholeheartedly welcome. As the sounds
build and bass line rolls in like an Adam Clayton special, Garner's voice
softly undulates on the waves of melody before the storm breaks and the
crashing swathes of guitars toss her vocal around like a defiant ship in a
storm. This is huge sounding music and may well be destined to become a montage
bed on the BBC at some point in the future but in the meantime just close your
eyes and turn to face the wind.
