Wait & Hope
About This Album
"The sun don't shine and nothing's getting better," Neil Sabatino bemoans on "Lack of Luster," "I'll continue to whine a sore loser forever." But with Wait & Hope, Fairmont's fourth album, the frontman has his revenge, with an album seeped deep in melancholy, misery, and murderous plans.

Many of the song titles reflect Sabatino's vengeful mood, not least "Since Day One I've Been Plotting Your Death." But it's "At the End of the Movie"'s lyrics that are the most alarming, as the singer maps out the destruction of his old life (and everything and one in it), and beginning anew as a spree killer. Obviously this is a guy with serious issues! But don't call the cops just yet, for Sabatino's merely venting, and with good cause, Fairmont's had a tough time these last couple of years. This cathartic set should hopefully set things right, helping the band leave the tension, anger, and helplessness behind them. For now there's a decided tautness underlying the album, a slash and burn musical approach that echoes of old-school punk while eagerly embracing the angsty feel of the '80s indie scene.
