Fear of Men came about through the common ritual of the sharing of the mixtape. Jessica Weiss (vocals and guitar) and Daniel Falvey (guitar) became friends through finding musical common grounds while sharing mixtapes of eclectic artists. Fortunately for us they then decided to start a band. The Brighton foursome make melancholy indie pop driven by Weiss’s exquisite vocal melodies that seem to hover above the ambient cloud created by Falvey and company. The group is set to release a “reverse chronological collection” of previous singles released on various UK labels entitled Early Fragments. ”Seer” and “Mosaic” were immediate stand outs for me and have been on heavy rotation here. Early Fragments is due out February 12th via Kanine Records.
