Fawns of Love, the Bakersfield-based band quietly redefining modern dream pop, are set to captivate listeners once again with their reissued album, Who Cares About Tomorrow. Now available on vinyl for the very first time, this remastered and rerecorded offering represents not only a sonic journey but also a pointed reflection on contemporary societal malaise.
Drawing sonic inspiration from the ethereal realms of the Cocteau Twins—inflected with the lush, immersive textures reminiscent of Slowdive—Who Cares About Tomorrow immerses its audience in a cascade of dreamy guitar washes and haunting vocals. The album’s production shines with renewed clarity, inviting both longtime fans and newcomers to experience its intricate soundscapes with a fresh auditory lens.
The original release, steeped in themes of life under the oppressive grip of a demagogue, now finds an unsettling resonance in today’s political climate. In an era where dystopian narratives feel all too real, the album’s re-release in 2025 emerges as a timely reminder of the dangers of authoritarianism—a sonic chronicle that might well have been envisioned by the visionary Rod Serling.
Following on the heels of their critically noted Fear the Softest Gaze LP—a record that saw collaborations with Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins and Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening—Fawns of Love have solidified their reputation for melding avant-garde sensibilities with incisive commentary. With Who Cares About Tomorrow, the band not only extends their musical lineage but also crafts a reflective narrative that captures the anxieties and aspirations of our times.
In this reimagined chapter, Fawns of Love remind us that while the future remains uncertain, art has the enduring power to question, to inspire, and, above all, to resonate with the human spirit.
