“Take Me Back to Nowhere”
Album (K&F Records)

Futuristic, deeply melancholic, whitewashed in energetic synth rock, “Take Me Back to Nowhere” presents itself. It is less a place of lamentation than a call to fight against the darkness. – As black as the scraps of thought may be, A.S. Fanning’s powerful voice paints them in gloomy detail. A rousing synth-pop number is “Today Is for Forgetting”, while “Now I’m in Love” plays with psychedelic elements. “Western Medicine” and “Idiot Leader” contain social criticism and with the reflective “Talking to Ourselves” the shadows become particularly black once again.
