(part 168 in a 1001 part series)
Up until about a week ago, I had not heard of The Fairer Sex, a jangly indie-folk-pop group from Lawrence, KS. But then again, I was definitely interested since I know two of the members from high school and college days. Nice to see another local Lawrence band put together a pretty solid album of unassuming and mildly melancholy ditties.
Not shockingly sounds like another Lawrence band Ghosty (especially since David Wetzyl plays in Ghosty as well), but also has some elements of Elliott Smith or Okkervil River perhaps as well. Certainly not groundbreaking, but enjoyable on this rainy Washington day.
