Well-crafted, dreamy pop with generous use of vocal harmonies and guitar melodies, a knack for laying down instrumental tracks with sinister overtones and a rustic, lo-fi appeal.

notes
The Fairburn Royals were formed in December 2000 in Athens, Georgia by four friends who had grown too old for college but still had a love of performing music. Starting out as basically a four-track project, the band's sound is characterized as rough-around-the-edges lo-fi pop reminiscent of the early days of the Replacements, Pavement, or Guided by Voices. The band's lyrics draw heavily from day-to-day events we all encounter, and are at first blush simplistic. However, when put together in the context of a full record of songs, the lyrical composition actually makes a statement about everyday life.
Vocalist Matt Lisle lends a very versatile voice to the equation, and is equally adept at soft, dreamy vocals as he is at rock outbursts. The band makes generous use of vocal harmonies and guitar melodies, but also can lay down instrumental tracks with sinister overtones. With this band, the best is yet to come.
