Following Guillemots 2008 album ‘Red’, mercurial singer-songwriter Fyfe
Dangerfield has used the window of time created to spread his wings and
lovingly record his beautiful debut solo album ‘Fly Yellow Moon’,.
‘Fly Yellow Moon’ is written entirely by Fyfe and produced by Adam
Noble in Urchin Studios, London the same studios where Guillemots
recorded their first classic E.P. ‘I Saw Such Things In My Sleep’. The
10-track record startles from start to finish, magnificently eclectic,
warm and uplifting, haunting and melodic it sounds like a classic
upon its first listen.
Opening track ‘When You Walk In The Room’ (Free digitally track out
November 9th) strikes the perfect chord for the following nine sublime
tracks, capturing Fyfe’s truly remarkable voice, while flaunting his
daring, expansive and mystical songwriting.
The record flows with highlights including from the beautiful ‘So Brand
New’, the joyous ‘Faster Than The Setting Sun’ to the scintillating
‘She Needs Me’ (First single out January 11th) and the stunningly
reflective ‘Don’t Be Shy’.
Fyfe recorded the album in five days in what he describes as ‘the best
ever little studio’, which ended up being the happiest days he has ever
spent in studio land. The songs were written over a 12-month period in
snatched moments after soundchecks, before nights out, and after
moments of unmitigated lovestruck bliss.
He met up with Bernard Butler to mix a couple of songs (‘She Needs Me’,
‘Faster Than The Setting Sun’) on a 1960s-mixing desk to colour the
record in a different shade. The rest of the tracks remained just as
they were from their first recording session. “It often sounded best
this way, says Fyfe. “Capturing the moment they were recorded and not
being painted over too much.”
“A good time was had by all,” notes Fyfe, and we hope you do too!
