Dublin-born, Berlin-based songwriter AS Fanning, known for his indie folk and gothic psychedelia sound and for his former band The Last Tycoons, has shared six of his favourite singles released over the past six weeks. The picks offer readers a curated glimpse into the music currently exciting one of alternative music's more prolific and discerning voices, whose own retrospective EP, Unbearable Miracle, is due for release as he prepares to return to Ireland.
Among Fanning's selections are New Orleans lo-fi garage-punk-country group Twisted Teens for their track 'Swamp', which he called one of the best live acts he has seen in years; Lankum singer Radie Peat's debut solo single 'I Still Love Him', whose voice he likened to folk legend Karen Dalton; and Paris-based songwriter Flora Hibberd, who supported Fanning in Berlin and has a new album, Mammoth, due in October.
