Faunts - Feel.Love.Thinking.Of

It may not be very rock-critic of me, but all you have to do is write one good song and I’m your fan for life. That’s how I feel about musicians like Mike Petkau (Dinosaur), Paul Bergman (Fallow Field) and The Pets (Vika), and it’s how I feel about Edmonton’s Faunts and their song Will You Tell Me When, from 2004’s High Expectations/Low Results. Since that song and CD, the band has put out three other releases. The latest, Feel.Love.Thinking.Of., completes their transformation from a dreamy shoegaze project to an electro-pop outfit. With standout songs like the driving title track and the sprawling Alarmed/Lights, Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. is a stellar album. It’ll be interesting to see where Faunts go from here.
