AmericanPancake.com reviews Deep Fondness Call Centre new EP | out now

James Mulhern crafts some trippy sounds, pop indie, dream pop, blendo pop, I am not sure what to call it but it pulls you in and then distracts you with evocative interruptions. –

-Unabashedly shape shifting itself and our emotions. The track Deep (Deeply Fond) is a bouncy pop love affair with sort of surf pop drums co-existing with sci-fi arpeggios, surprising and time transportive and then to that evocative interruption I mentioned earlier (you will see). Some of the tracks feel retro sci-fi in the sense that you hear coins dropping in those now antiquated phone booths (do they even exist anymore?). The track Normal is divergently sweet in a straight forward way, a telephone call to someone you love (maybe) from that relic phone booth. Nowhere Too sucks you out of the dream by feeling more like a busker dinking around or composing on the fly. It is raw with stuttered mistakes, imperfect, maybe intentionally.” –American Pancake
