Robin Guthrie has recorded and mixed The Fawns Of Love track Someday from last years Permanent album which I said was ripe for a remix when it first came out! It is somewhat ironic as I have always thought that the band had a bit of The Cocteau Twins about their person. Guthrie has always been one of my favourite remixes and he slows the … Continue reading Fawns Of Love – Someday (Robin Guthrie Version)

Flip side Something Stupid is my pick of the two tracks here sounding like it was lifted straight from Garlands. Zine Days … Continue reading Fawns of Love – Zine Days
Given that one of their previous musical guises was called Peppermint Kisses it’s not too much of a surprise comparisons made with the Cocteau Twins on The Fawns Of Love debut LP Who Cares About Tomorrow especially given the vocals of Jenny Andreotti.
