Fezant performing at the East Nile, Oakland
With two self- released EPs, and an official release soon to come, Fezant, an electronic duo based in Oakland, sounds like mainstream dance pop filtered through the dark lens of a Vangelis film score. A restricted palette of analog synths, unadorned vocals, and drum machine beats serves to create songs that are at once immediate and opaque.
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
Adam Curtis is a documentary film maker. His 2011 three part BBC documentary series, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, claims that computers have failed to liberate us and instead have ‘distorted and simplified our view of the world around us’. The film features the Russian-born author Ayn Rand, who relocated to New York in the 1920s. Her ideas and philosophy were popular and came to infiltrate California, particularly Silicon Valley.

I wish they’d been around when I last lived in Sydney; it would have been well worth the two hour drive north to see them play. The whole album (The Bowery) is beautiful, but this song especially rings out with poignancy. I love the subtle sound of the fingers sliding across the guitar frets, the gently whispered vocals, which hint at secrets and cheeky serenades, and the sense of soulful introspection that tangles itself elegantly amongst its minor chord tapestry.

Incorporating an array of acoustic instruments, strings, slide guitar, and haunting female vocals into gossamer melodies, the collective sound like they hail from a dusty town on the Great Plains rather than their native Brooklyn.
