Fyfe Dangerfield Signs to Faber Alt.
We are excited to announce that we have signed English musician and songwriter, Fyfe Dangerfield, to the Faber Alt. roster.
Fyfe Dangerfield first came to prominence as the founder and focal point of the multinational Guillemots. Singles such as ‘Made-Up Lovesong #43’, ‘Trains To Brazil’, ‘Kriss Kross’ and ‘Walk the River’ found the sweet spot between cult adoration, critical acclaim and commercial success. It resulted in a Gold certification for their debut album Through The Windowpane, a Top 10 chart peak for the follow-up Red, and Mercury Prize, BRIT and NME Award nominations. Fyfe has also released the solo album Fly Yellow Moon, interpreted Billy Joel’s ‘She’s Always A Woman’ for a John Lewis campaign, composed commissions for The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, cellist Natalie Clein and Ex Cathedra choir, and founded the free jazz improv collective Gannets.
More recently, Fyfe launched his multimedia creative platform Channels May Change with the twelve-episode series “Birdwatcher”, a surreal, ground-breaking mix of music, songs, sound & characters, with accompanying artworks.
The last couple of months have seen Fyfe sharing new music again with ‘Shook' and ‘The Zebra Wind’ (premiered by Chris Hawkins on BBC 6 Music) the first of many startling new tracks to be released in a variety of different formats throughout 2023. Fyfe has also started playing live again for the first time in years, beginning with a celebratory sell-out London residency at The State51 Factory. More live dates are to be announced soon.
“I’m super chuffed to begin collaborating with Faber Alt, for them to start playing with this giant tub of music I’ve amassed over the last decade or so at Channels May Change HQ .. it’s been important to me to find a publisher that works & plays with flexibility, happy to dance across the full spectrum of sounds and Faber really nail that, there’s an open-mindedness at their heart which makes for just the sort of free & creative environment I thrive in. I’m really excited to start our journey together!”
