From A Window Way Above CD (2002)
 $9.75
From a Window Way Above, the Fairburn Royals' follow-up to their self-released debut, finds the Athens, GA, band polishing its sound to create an album of charming and driving power pop. But when the Royals rock -- and they do it pretty often -- they're unstoppable. This may not be a perfect record, but add a little more Rolling Stones to the mix and the Fairburn Royals might just hit their stride. However, when put together in the context of a full record of songs, the lyrical composition actually makes a statement about everyday life.Vocalist Matt Lisle lends a very versatile voice to the equation, and is equally adept at soft, dreamy vocals as he is at rock outbursts. When the Fairburn Royals are slow and meditative, like on "Don't Force It" or the psychedelic "These Aren't Mistakes," things can drag -- From a Window doesn't have the Clientele or R.E.M.'s skill with daydreamy levity. But the Royals still maintain their lo-fi aesthetic, and From a Window is more Guided by Voices than mid-period R.E.M.. "Japan," their slightly surreal, international wanderlust tune, is as catchy as anything released in 2002. Tracks like "The Cheer" have the fun drive and bite of Brendan Benson combined with a similar love for Help!-era Beatles; "Be My Punk Rock Friend" is a groovy, hilarious satire ("Can we not be friends because I have a job?," Matt Lisle asks); and "Necessities" has a dark, late-'60s momentum. The band's lyrics draw heavily from day-to-day events we all encounter, and are at first blush simplistic. Starting out as basically a four-track project, the band's sound is characterized as rough-around-the-edges lo-fi pop reminiscent of the early days of the Replacements, Pavement, or Guided by Voices. ~ Charles Spano
The Fairburn Royals were formed in December 2000 in Athens, Georgia by four friends who had grown too old for college but still had a love of performing music.
