Words: Linn Branson
Australian outfit Fairchild - now residents in our very own northern territory of Manchester - follow up their ‘Sadako’ EP of last year with a new double A-side single: ‘Hot Rod'/'Nom De Guerre’.
Released on June 22 via their own label, Canvas Sounds, ‘Nom De Guerre’, while we are not so keen on the chest hair on display on the cover - see below - this is a very good track; conveying both a vibrant sunny Aussie spirit in its pounding beat and the laid back vocals of Adam Lyons, together with touches of our own Foals and Friendly Fires in its composition.
Both tracks were produced by Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice) at Australia’s Luna Studios and mixed at London's Assault & Battery Studios. Marks also worked on the band's debut EP ‘Burning Feet’, which was released in April 2014.
Having previously supported the likes of Flume, Neon Indian, Parachute Youth and The Griswolds, Fairchild play their own single launch show on June 23 at Night & Day Cafe, Manchester.
