| A.S. Fanning - Carmelita |
Release Date: 13th November 2015
So, an Irishman walks in to a
German bar and, well, that's where the joke falls apart but basically that is
the story behind A.S. Fanning - to be more specific he's from Dublin and the
bar is in Berlin. The darkly handsome chap (I mean seriously, look at the way
he wears that hat) has a new single coming your way next month in the shape of
'Carmelita' which starts with a rich organ drone and scratchy acoustic strum
but that all drifts in to insignificance when you hear Fanning's voice. Think a
tone in the Venn diagram between Nick Cave, Neil Hannon, Hozier and Johnny
Cash, all treacly and smelling of roll up cigarettes and red wine. Singing of
being strung out on Heroine and sitting at the back of the bus while the organ
rages in the background gives this a confessional feel if Quentin Tarantino is
reading this then you really ought to sign this guy up to do the music for the
closing credits of your next film. Dark, delicious, steeped in pathos and with
the swagger of a cowboy who has killed more people than he can remember so
doesn't even bother trying any more.
