Through a lens tinted by Spaghetti Western fantasies and Bollywood dreams, the Philadelphia based ensemble, F!, creates an atmosphere akin to a Fellini film or a haunting Man Ray photograph. By twisting cartoons that once fed our minds as children into a repressed music for the villain, the bands first full length release, "An Adonis" echoes that of a deranged expressionist fairy tale. Throughout the album, the compositions toy with the idea of shifting between cinematic nostalgia by mocking and exaggerating the idea of genre.
"Just imagine Dick Dale persuading some Viennese opera house to let him perform the works of Raymond Scott with a circus band." - Shaun Brady, Philadelphia City Paper
