Nothing lasts forever. But that isn’t stopping Fonteyn from setting a time machine back to the early 70’s when the end of 60’s psychedelica was overlapping with the new adult contemporary.
Arriving on the airwaves as you fade back into a former era is “These Days.” Drum to keyboard to vocals to layers and it is as good as a summer in LA in 1971. Can you smell the sun tan lotion and the rubber from screeching tires? Got your bell bottoms on?

UK native Fonteyn spent her formative years pursuing Musical Theatre and acting in England, but it wasn’t until she started making music that she felt able to express herself authentically.

Fonteyn is making soft reverb mania on Bandcamp and with Born Loser Records with the collection Trip The Light Fantastic.
Before you are forced (them’s the rules) to return to 2022, enjoy the texture, melody, slight wobble and dusty resonance of “These Days.”
I love Carole King and Paul McCartney and The Carpenters but like, I love Todd Rundgren. “These Days” pulls that “Hello, It’s Me” piano and pushes it into a cloudless part of the sky circumnavigated by headier modern groups like Drugdealer, Jessica Pratt, and Weyes Blood.
