FYFE DANGERFIELD
Fly Yellow Moon
After a successful tenure with Britain’s eclectic Guillemots, singer Fyfe Dangerfield ventures out on his own with a consistently impressive debut that affirms his lofty ambitions. Opening track “When You Walk in the Room” initially takes a techno turn before quickly giving way to a sturdy rhythm. Likewise, the driving “Faster Than the Setting Sun” and the riveting “She Needs Me” further assert his rock ’n’ roll credibility. But Dangerfield is at his best crooning, as reflected in the smooth caress of “So Brand New,” the stately piano balladry of “Barricades” and the hauntingly beautiful “Livewire.” Fly Yellow Moon suggests this particular Dangerfield will get all the respect he’s due.
