Oakland, California-based
Cheyenne Avant (
Night School) and Devin Nunes. Avant and Nunes met many years ago while playing shows together with their previous projects. Bass guitar player
Eddie Salgado completes the line-up for live performances.
Recalling the haze-laden sounds of Julee Cruise, Slowdive, and The Cure, the Bay Area two-piece merge or alternate atmospheric dreampop musings with dance-driven, post-punk momentum.
While Fawning’s music is in the main serene and beautiful, at times a foreboding disquiet creeps in like an intangible specter haunting the psyche. A delicate balance exists between the heavenly luminescence and deeper shadowy recesses, with Avant’s angelically diaphanous vocals keep the spirits captivatingly aloft.
