The sound of summer escapism
Founding member of indie sensation the Guillemots, Fyfe Dangerfield strikes out in a solo project, bringing some of that charming indie-pop positivity to the fore. 'Faster than the Setting Sun' is the fourth single from solo album "Fly Yellow Moon".
It's full of a refreshing optimism, soaring on wings of classic string, epic folk drumming, riding on a buzz of electro excitement, with those weighty melodic folk vocals. Think Keane with a smattering of Mumford and Sons getting away from it all on a sunny holiday in Spain.
A solid track that's a summer celebration; it's such am irresistibly feel good sound that you don't notice it bordering on cheese – and you can turn it up without upsetting your Mum. Not the most original nor exploratory of tracks, but Fyfe Dangerfield is on top form, making music with a little more soul, and a lot more heart than many of his commercial counterparts.
