Yeah getting better (review)


"For their first album proper Fern provide a lush soundtrack to nights spent

avoiding the sweat, sleaze and affectation of our nations capital. Instead,

they set about concocting deliciously quirky, almost soft-focus Anglican indie

of the type that David Sylvian and Mansun have come up with over a cappuccino

Its considered, dark, and indefinably arty, though this is not the herky-jerky

arrhythmia of either Franz Ferdinand or Liars. Rather, its the sound of magic-dust

being sprinkled on new ground. Theyre following in the singular footsteps of

The Veils - albeit a version without the honking seal up front - all they need now

is a slot on the soundtrack of the next series of Teachers and everyone will know

who they are" Gillian Nash
