FAIRMONT
– Transcendence
(myspace.com/Fairmont)
By Deborah J. Draisin
Here is a track by track breakdown of Fairmont’s
latest release:
*Being & Nothingness – Bouncy, catchy;
the song that will get stuck in your head.
Based upon the unusual upbringing of a close
friend. The first song off the album leaked
on the band’s MySpace.
*Nowhere, Mass – Pretty, poppy ballad;
the simple 4/4 time will have you tapping
your foot and swaying. All about feeling trapped.
Omaha – Dirty little ditty very reminiscent
of 60’s “surf rock” tapping
into the feeling of being a bit too far from
home.
Prick – A rare bout of vulnerability
from Mr. Sabatino with a lovely little sampling
of different sounds.
*Everyone Hates A Critic – Keyboard-driven
jazz pop song to encourage everyone to stay
on their path despite what others have to
say about it.
Luck Will Change – An almost optimistic
bopper!
True Love Waits For Me – Some very
good advice contained within this hooky little
number.
Awkward Silence – Slightly rockabilly
call out with the usual Fairmont flair.
Please Don’t Go – Addictive,
engine-driven plea that you’ll find
yourself tapping and singing along with by
the second chorus.
Melt Your Heart – Fairmont goes for
an updated sound featuring backup vocals and
an ending duet. The choir-like vocals at the
end will have you waving your hands in the
air.
