ABOUT THIS ITEM

Fairewell is the new project of Sheffield-born, North London-based Johnny White, formerly of The Rollercoaster Project.

The debut album ‘Poor, Poor Grendel’ features ‘Born Under A Bad Sign’, which was featured on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 Music show.

‘Born Under A Bad Sign’, with its video featuring a boy unwittingly leading a sheep to its untimely demise, became a blog hit.

Musically veers from elegiac post-rock to saturnine synth-pop. Radio Dept-style indie makes way for lengthy instrumentals which bring to mind M83 covering ‘Songs From The Big Chair’-era Tears For Fears.
