Many Other Things by Fargo

For fans of Geese, Algernon Cadwallader, Mogwai, the more emo-tinged side of the Windmill Scene, and the desperation to feel something in the midst of a numb depression, Many Other Things by Fargo crafts love songs which burn with the desire for all ends of the romantic spectrum, from heartbreak to passion to tenderness to chaos. Vocals familiar to us in the contemporary indie scene join forces with an instrumental tendency more at home in the 2010s emo revival, a deeply expressive and varied singing palette augmenting twinkly, jazzy guitar riffs as both explode simultaneously into grungy, euphoric peaks. Taking the unique angle of desiring all the positive and negative experiences of love simultaneously, these immediately tangible lyrics choose not to contrast the light with the dark but instead the sensation from the lack thereof. By yearning for a past love, we accept both the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, performing a radically life-affirming surrender to the most human, organic, corporal possible experiences.
