Tu Fawning is based out of Portland , Oregon . The name Tu Fawning came from a collage of words while reading National Geographic Magazine and has no deeper meaning.

history

The band 2007 by Corrina Repp, the previously already more albums as was founded Folk - songwriter had published, and Joe Haege from the math-rock band 31 Knots . After a year of experimentation, the two multi-instrumentalists Toussaint Perrault and Liza Rietz added the two composers' project to a quartet. Toussaint previously played reggae with the Baby Dollars , while Rietz was a violinist with The Swords Project , which experimented with world music and big band jazz. In 2008 Tu Fawning released the EP Secession on the Polyvinyl Record label . Since their second release Hearts On Hold , Tu Fawning have been under contract with the Berlin independent label City Slang .

style

Difficult to classify stylistically from the start, Corrina Repp and Joe Haege self-ironically describe their music as "Antique-Dance-Tribal-Gospel". They say about themselves: “We both had the feeling that we had reached an end point creatively. We have so many common influences that we simply couldn't process in our projects at the time. ” The online magazine laut.de listens out gamelan music , African tribal music and progressive rock . Tom Waits , Tortoise and Liars are the godfathers for the sound of Tu Fawning . References to Portishead and The Velvet Underground are also seen. Thomas Winkler writes under the heading “What the others don't dare to do”: “The demonstrative dilettantism arises when the four band members happily switch back and forth between the instruments.”
