Search - Fast Fourier :: Tomorrow Tomorrow

"After hearing the off-handed cohesion of [Grizzly Bear's] dreamy harmonies and their seemingly effortless musical interplay, it's difficult to imagine these songs achieving such heights of hushed majesty in any other format." - PITCHFORK "Instead of gnarled, matted brown fur and sharp claws, Grizzly Bear's music brings to mind another kind of hulking, sienna figure: a monk, clad in rough-hewed, belted habit ... the arrangements are simple and faraway-sounding, as soft harmonious voices echo through singular guitars and spare strings." - SPIN Fast Fourier is a soothing equation buried deep in the future of static rock `n' roll; a fiber optic pop soundscape for music lovers who thirst for the unique, creating layers of endearing melodies that wouldn't be out of place atop a daydream. Fast Fourier makes reality seem fuzzy enough to just get past the peripheral and onto the dance floor. At times smooth and delaying, at others jagged and Pollyanna-ish, they consistently spit out lullabies infected with a clear-cut catchiness you'll be smitten with for weeks. Singer/drummer Chris Bear delivers syrupy-sweet vocals enveloped in his icy beats while Jeff Knutsen and Chris Taylor back their boy up with a heaping helping of soured-moog crunch and bass guitar bohemia. The band meets comfortably within the confines of its debut full-length Tomorrow, Tomorrow. Each track detonates a wide range of melodramatic intensity; the opener "Wonderlove" explores confusion in the world of unrequited lust, while a track like "Fluorescent Rain" drips with a downright heavenly glide. From its inception as a high-energy experimental trio, Fast Fourier has played live sets ranging from kaleidoscopic grunge to rapid-fire, no-wave punk. The line between the predetermined and the spontaneous is wholly washed away in the fluidity of their show. The band began performing approximately two and a half years ago, crashing and inspiring parties throughout greater New York and its surrounding boroughs. Tomorrow, Tomorrow stands as a break in rock history, successfully capturing Fast Fourier's adventurous spirit and raw live sound. This is seventies AM radio pop for the twenty-first century. Get down on it.
