The comparison here could also be to Fleet Foxes, with that sugar-sweet fluffiness to the vocal mix, and the primacy of the acoustic plucked string.

Its a dynamic mid-tempo crooner track, with a soothing harmony and a smart turnaround out of the chorus that underscores the extra personality from the songwriting.

The desperation, the frustration, the defeatism: its the tale told by us all in this world full of misfires.

Equal parts badass and diva, her lyrical aggression and powerful melodic cadence are perfectly matched to the bands impassioned chaos.

Its half of a warped reggae chop, surgically attached to a lounge band shuffle, with soul-pop vocals sprinkled on top.

The energy is both soothing and a bit peppery, while the voice sounds to be on the fashionable side of timid: controlled, well-purposed, and perfectly blended into the song.

On their new release Out In The Streets there is a raw and pristine sound to the sparse production, and a Lou Reed style density in the lyrics.

Originality of the songwriting and production style sets Fontaine apart, but also the willingness to mesh genres in interesting ways.
