Wow & Flutter

It's clear from the opening seconds of Tu Fawning's debut full length, that there's something very, very different about this Portland, Oregon band. The trumpets, ghostly chanting, violins, trombones, funereal drums, guitars, samples, piano & golden harmonies are not the sound of your everyday indie rock act. In fact, Corrina Repp and Joe Haege carved out cult reputations in 31 KNOTS, and violinist Liza Rietz held her own in SWORDS PROJECT.
