Search - Fairburn Royals :: The Whistler

The Whistler picks up where previous Fairburn Royals' records left off, with more indie pop stylings, albeit with a more laid-back, alt-country feel. As with the earlier records, drummer Jason Eshelman (who also plays with Athens band The Eskimos) doubled as engineer, and the record was recorded at Eshelman's Sonic Research Facility in Athens. The band's growth as musicians is exhibited by the fact that traditional guitar-bass-percussion assignments were juggled during the course of the record. Guest appearances include Patrick Doyle on saxophone and trumpet, and Eskimos guitarist/vocalist Dave Weiglein adds guitar to a track on the record.
