The Fawn is boundless. After the release of "Who's The Fawn live at Bikini Test", the ever-changing pop collective publishes again a full live document, "Fours à Chaux", a spatial performance that has seen the band invest an old deserted factory in the jura mountains. This unique incarnation of the band features a hairy sound technician, two possessed dancers and a dozen heavy swiss rock musicians from Coilguns, Derrick, Shelving, Televator, etc. It comes out as a 55 minutes progressive piece of dark and scary music that displays the most experimental and intriguing side of the band, enlighting its interest for spatiality and natural acoustic already shown with its "Collegium LP". To be enjoyed with loud headphones, low candle light, massive TV screen and generous glasses of whiskey.
