Married Bakersfield, California-based duo Fawns of Love (Jenny and Joseph Andreotti) will release “Zine Days” b/w “Something Stupid,” a new two-song 7-inch on March 2, 2018. The song adheres beautifully to the Andreotti’s most personal and nostalgic inspirations, from its title, to its inspired artwork, music video, and even a Spotify playlist the band created to act as a blueprint of the influences that went into the song’s creation.
The new single arrives a year after the band’s debut album Who Cares About Tomorrow, and is the follow-up to its mid-2017 single release “Falling/Standing,” which Paste called a “dreampop gem,” and was honored as one of the best songs of the year by Los Angeles-based radio show Part Time Punks and venerable indie rock bible The Big Takeover.
“Gone are the zine days, Gone are the me and you days,” Jenny sings.
“‘Zine Days’ is a tribute to my teenage self, and a eulogy,” she explains. “I lost my eldest brother to cancer when I was fourteen. I was an absolute innocent insecure mess in junior high, and he tried to boost my self-esteem by saying that I had better watch out for boys. He knew damn well that the only way any boy would look my way was to cheat off my test, but to this day it is one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me. My brother was sensitive to my growing pains even though his own life was tragically spiraling out of control. With ‘Zine Days’ I have done my best to capture that sense of innocence and loss.”
This depth of emotion comes to life in physical form with the single’s cover art and music video which are both viewable in 3-D.
Lyrics:
“Zine Days”
Verse One:
Gone are the radio days
And you’re gone too
But I still want you
With every breath and beat of my heart
Chorus:
Gone are the zine days
Gone are the me and you days
Verse Two:
Gone are the movie days
Feeling something days
In its place is something angry
There’s no time for dreaming or escape

Verse Two:

Feeling something days
In its place is something angry
There’s no time for dreaming or escape
“Something Stupid”
Verse One:
If I drink one more
That could be it
I will do something stupid
I will be honest
A little too real
Chorus:
Flirt, text, misbehave
Beg, plead, I want you
Why don’t you want me?
Verse Two:
As my drink spills
It’s obvious
I’m about to do something I will regret
Something with a permanent effect

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
