Fairweather Currents - Things Get Better

Wake the Deaf review Things Get Better, the new album from New York bedroom pop project Fairweather Currents.

“ It’s called Things Get Better and builds on everything Truesdale did so well, mostly soft and sad and gentle, a melting pot of superior influences – such as the direct emotional earnestness of Small Wonder, Nana Grizol-style songwriting and the cosy intimate atmosphere of the bedroom singer-songwriter acts we like so much here at Wake the Deaf”

“Somehow defiantly gentle, like a quiet little voice that tells you to keep on going... vocals sometimes hushed to an near-whisper and sometimes rising with a reticent stoicism” - Things Get Better by @fairweathercurrents. Read the full review over at Wake The Deaf HQ.

Fairweather Currents - Truesdale

One of the joys of the internet is stumbling upon things you would otherwise be completely oblivious of. Take, for example, Fairweather Currents, the recording project of Dylan Citron, a (presumably) young man from New York (who also plays in Rabbideer). Now, I could have spent a thousand years walking around, knocking on people's front doors, asking if they had recorded any sad and sincere bedroom pop albums that I could listen to. The answer at each door would likely be no, and I would invariably go away disappointed.

But with the internet, oh boy, I didn't even have to look! I just clicked a few links that looked vaguely interesting and now I'm sitting here listening to Truesdale, trying to describe why this modest, minimal little piece of music is so damn beautiful. If you liked Small Wonder's Wendy or Adieu Caribou's I Do Care About You, then I think you will like this.

This is a very personal album, one of those ones that you just know was borne out of compulsion rather than a desire to please. Citron says it best himself:

"This album was not written for anyone other than myself, and I am wary to upload such a personal lens into myself onto the public of the web. So all I ask in return is your support if you enjoyed it! Share it! Tell your sad, sad friends who enjoy sad, sad music!"

So sad friends, if you're out there, please enjoy this album.

You can download Truesdale on a pay-what-you-want basis over at the Fairweather Currents Bandcamp page.

P.S. Fairweather Currents also have two collections of covers including takes on tracks by The Antlers, Nana Grizol, Waxahatchee, Coma Cinema and many more. They're pretty lo-fi and morose but also really nice.
