FAIR WTHR to celebrate EP release at Rockwood Music Hall on July 07.02

Minimalist doesn’t always mean simple, and FAIR WTHR’s music is a textbook example of this. The NYC folk-pop band thrives on instrumental arrangements that don’t take up too much space, giving vocalist Sarah Kang all the room she needs to leave hearts heavy with a voice that’s a little reminiscent of Frankie Cosmos’. At times, though, the instruments take center stage such as on "Mama" where the band shifts dyanmics, gradually building their signature dreamy folk pop into a heavier, electric folk-rock. This band has the ability of writing songs that seem simple during casual listening, but then have a lot to offer after doing a little digging. FAIR WTHR will celebrate their already released EP at the Rockwood Music Hall on July 2nd. — Henry Solotaroff-Webber
