Another Sprinkle of Magic
Posted February 02, 2010
By alandmuse,
I missed the first Fair release, but have been familiar with and impressed by Aaron Sprinkle's prodigious production output over the past several years. It's great to hear him put even more of himself on the canvas, along with his bandmates in Fair. If pressed to describe the sound, I'd describe it as MuteMath-meets-10CC. Don't ask me why but this CD sounds "British" to me - echoes of ELO, Alan Parsons, etc. The emphasis on keyboards gives the tunes a certain breeziness and distinctiveness that eludes so many guitar-based bands. Sprinkle demonstrated his ability to elevate already-great songs with interesting keyboard textures on Capital Lights' (R.I.P.) last release, and continues to do so on this album. Well done!
