Rasing The Fawn

By The Warmth Of Your Flame, Sonic Unyon

If you like Grant Lee Phillips/Grant Lee Buffalo, then you will enjoy this interim release by Raising the Fawn. The EP, released November 4, is a stop gap measure they invented to bridge the gap between who they are now and who they used to be – who they were before half the band left, who they were while recording a full length album. Suffice to say that John Crossingham and Scott Remile (both of Broken Social Scene) will be the first to remind us that relationships and bands don’t mix. The replacement of two former members with just a new drummer benefits us however, as we can now enjoy this pleasant, atmospheric and intriguing collection of 4 songs plus an intro track. Basically, a half hour of broad, interesting and appealing music with sweet melodic singing, to listen to as we watch for trio tour dates. This project certainly creates interest in the forthcoming album – The North Sea, and we should be enjoying such plucky use of the banjo and organ, while humming bars of ‘Country Home,’ until then.
