Warpfan If you like post-punk and new wave artists like The Cure (Disintegration-era), Smiths, and Duran Duran - with a modern, energetic, bright, stylish, tight and melodic focus - buy this now. The band's influences are clear, but this is not a "derivative" album, and they know how to take risks. Fantastic vocals. What a breath of fresh air... and it has a hopeful sound throughout. Wow. Favorite track: Colour Shining Bright.

Matt H I LOVE THIS ALBUM! So many great tracks each a nod to the days of Indie/Goth, they tick so many boxes! Personally, Your Touch is my all time favourite track on this album, just brilliant! Favorite track: Your Touch.

Kalen Baker Super cool and fresh sounding New Wave/post-punk. The production on this album is gorgeous and makes me feel like I'm seeing the band at an outdoor summer festival. Some Duran Duran and New Order vibes on here. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Colour Shining Bright.

“... Fallacy of Fairness is strictly a brighter and more accessible
affair ... In ‘Colour Shining Bright’ the band dive in hard on glammy British new wave, with synth toms, orch hits and a disco bassline fit for John Taylor ... ‘Dirty Words’ has a Smiths- esque bounce and lyrical conceit ... Guest vocalist Lindsay Leigh Dakin offers up darkwave grandeur ... A strong contender in the current North American post-punk landscape.”

DARK LIFE EXPERIENCE:

“Why Girlfriends and Boyfriends of all bands only came into our focus now will probably remain a mystery, because the quartet managed to convince us completely within seconds… The songs deviate from the usual norm in the genre (in a positive way) … Modernity mixed with the best of past eras, make songs like Colour Shining Bright, but also the whole longplayer an unforgettable (time travel) adventure.”
