Notes.<\/strong>
\nThis\u00a0installment\u00a0exposes Fatti Frances\u2019 experimental slow jams born from after work drinks turned drunken bedroom raves. Aesthetically, these songs are home-crafted and rough n\u2019 ready, representing post sexual dance music that leaves you feeling awkward and exhausted, confused yet satisfied.
\nWithin this release you can expect Fatti Frances\u2019 trademark overpowering rhythms and delicate melodies laced with uncomfortable drones that stumble through wonky synthetic bass lines.
\nPerfect for a 6am slow dance.
\nAlso released on cassette via Heavy Lows.<\/em><\/a>
\n\u201cWanting to take dancefloor bangers that idols Missy Elliott pumps out and combine with pastoral yet evocative songwriting, Fatti Frances achieves something of a quivering, heaving hybrid of overt sexual come-ons and coy musings, all the while manipulating sound into an electronic vacuum of stutters and uncertainty.\u201d<\/em>

Biography.<\/strong>
\nRaised by her eccentric grandmother in an old Brunswick home similar to the Grey Gardens Mansion, Raquel Solier emerged from boxes of worn VHS tapes and empty milk cartons to become Fatti Frances, experimental RnB artist.
\nAs a drummer for art punk bands Jemima Jemima and Oh! Belgium, indie bands The Ancients and Jessica Says, and even country outfit Nathan Hollywood, Solier has strong roots in the Melbourne music scene. After relocating to Berlin with Jemima Jemima and touring Europe and Asia playing drums for Jens Lekman, sharing stages with such luminaries as Joanna Newsom, A.I.R and Sally Seltmann, Raquel took time off in Brooklyn. There she found the inspiration to take the plunge on an idea she\u2019d long toyed with, combining her love of chart topping RnB artists such as\u00a0Missy Elliott and Aaliyah with the dark, melodic songwriting of\u00a0Scott Walker and Karen Carpenter.
\nThe result of the experience and the foundation of every live performance is a brutal concoction of synthesizer waves, wonky doom-like bass and most prominent of all; the assaulting RnB beats.
\nJust when it couldn\u2019t appear to get any more intense, sexy, trance-like, loose or sweaty; out comes the smoke machine and lasers to heighten the senses and unhinge the diva within.
