"Brilliant both sonically and lyrically... reminds me of Debbie Harry if Debbie Harry had a mix of German Singer/Songwriter Nico’s tone" ~ Indie Pulse Music
"This project oozes great vibes... emotive and laced with substance yet delightfully lighthearted and easy to listen to" ~ Music Existence
“Manhattan’s avant garde would be proud of them” ~ Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello's band)
“They have a unique and refreshing approach to their music especially at a time when so many things being produced seem to sound the same” ~ Woody Woodmansey (David Bowie Spider's from Mars)
Back with remarkable power pop for now people, UK-based indie rock / power-pop duo Fitzsimon and Brogan (FaB) present their new single 'Flowers At Her Door', released through Booster Music WTPL France. Recorded at FaB Productions, this single was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Martin Smith (Electric Light Orchestra, Shakin' Stevens) at Garage Studios in London.
FaB is made up of songwriter Neil Fitzsimon and vocalist Bee Brogan, both members of the Sony-licensed band Pretty Blue Gun, who went on to form the London-based writing-production partnership FaB Productions. A well-honed songwriting and production team, the music and lyrics for 'Flowers at Her Door' are written by Fitzsimon, with Brogan handling vocals, keyboards, drums and engineering.
"'Flowers At Her Door' was inspired by the Ridley Scott film "The Duellists", which depicts the Napoleonic wars and that particular film portrayed decadence, glamour and cruelty in equal measure," says Neil Fitzsimon.
"We’re trying to achieve the standard of the songwriting of the 1960s/1970s for a modern-day audience. My style of writing is old-school, with namely a guitar and a blank page. I give myself 45 minutes to work on a new song and if nothing comes, I’ll put the guitar down and go back to it the following day. It’s amazing how things that seemed insurmountable can then become vividly clear 24 hours later."
This new single follows FaB's latest album 'This Wicked Pantomime', which was co-produced by Pat Collier (Katrina and the Waves, Primal Scream, Maximo Park) at Perry Vale Studios, London and involved dummer Woody Woodmansey (David Bowie Spider's from Mars), as well as Elvis Costello drummer Pete Thomas.
Prior to that, FaB released four well-received albums, including 'Venus in Reverse' (2011), 'His Latest Squeeze' (2015), 'Big Blue World' (2018) and 'The Girl Who Shouted Love at the Heart of the World' (2019), which involved members of The Art of Noise, Eric Clapton bass player Dave Bronze, Moody Blues' Tobias Boshell and Pip Williams (Walker Brothers).
Having toured nationally across the UK and with song placements in Film and TV, they also wrote the musical 'Jack Dagger', which was showcased at the Greenwich Theatre, London for the Musical Futures Award, and also at the Bridewell and the Royal College of Music in London. With chart success in France, Belgium, and South Africa—and a song featured in a U.S. sci-fi film—the band is making waves on every front.
A studio act in the vein of Talk Talk or Tin Tin Out, Fitzsimon and Brogan cleverly blends elements of classic 60s and 70s pop-rock with a modern, energetic and uplifting feel. Fun and charismatic, FaB offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream pop.
As of August 27, 'Flowers at Her Door' is available from fine music platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.
