Fair - "Wayside" (2010)

Fair is a band on Tooth & Nail Records featuring Aaron Sprinkle , who is probably best known as a producer of emo stalwarts such as Anberlin, Emery, Dead Poetic, Copleand and more. Sprinkle relies more heavily on his pop sensibilities however on Fair's sophomore effort Disappearing World. The album is full of gorgeous melodies and instrumentation slickly produced by Sprinkle himself. Stylistically, it picks up right where 2006's The Best Worst-Case Scenario left off. There are piano heavy tunes like “Take Some Risks” and upbeat guitar rockers like “It's Doubtful.” Lyrically, Sprinkle leans more toward melancholy on this record especially on the outstanding “The Worst of Your Wear,” featuring vocals from Copeland front man Aaron Marsh. Disappearing World is a great example of an outstanding record that hasn't found much of an audience. I encourage you to check it out and pass it along.
