The Singles Bar: Deer Fellow becomes a ‘Fool for You’
The duo gets you ready for Valentine’s Day.
Deer Fellow‘s “Fool for You” feels like a relic from the 1950s, a Roy Orbison B-side. It’s a gentle waltz that immerses you in an intoxicating, mirror ball glow. Guitars shimmer as crystalline waves lapping the shoreline. “I would do anything you want me to,” the lyrics spin on the dance floor. We’ve all been struck by Cupid’s sharp arrow, even if those feelings are unreciprocated. The song, which depicts someone becoming a “love-crazed buffoon,” as the duo says in press materials, is an easy-listener with a delicate, plush sensitivity.
