Tu Fawning's new album Hearts On Hold is an atmospheric and adventurous tour of music that harks back to the days of Hawkwind and Billy Cobham, but with a modern-day lyrical focus that adds pleasing depth.Layers of percussion, keys, backing and lead vocals produce a genuine three-dimensional sound that gives the ear a choice of elements to focus on - this is the musical equivalent of a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. Corrina Repp's vocals catch the attention while remaining unobtrusive enough that the intricate and intriguing musical accompaniment can be enjoyed in its own right, with lengthy instrumental interludes ensuring all areas of the performance receive their moment in the limelight.
