Marjorie Fair Debut on the Way

Marjorie Fair will release their debut album, Self Help Serenade on Capitol Records on July 19. The album has been sitting in purgatory for three years, as the recording started back in 2002. All but one of the record's 12 tracks were produced by Rob Schnapf, who has also worked with Beck and the Vines, and helped complete Elliott Smith's From a Basement on a Hill.

Just so you're going into this thing with the right expectations, we should mention that 'Marjorie Fair' is a variety of rose, not a band member or old flame. The four gentlemen in the band play a very Brit-friendly variety of sad guitar rock and have, in fact, received positive reviews from The Independent, NME, Mojo, and, you know, that kind of thing. Tracklist:

01 Don't Believe
02 Halfway House
03 Stare
04 How Can You Laugh
05 Waves
06 Please Don't
07 Cracks in the Wall
08 Stand in the World
09 Hold on to You
10 Silver Gun
11 My Sun Is Setting Over Her Magic

Marjorie Fair have a week left on their current tour supporting The Dears before they go back home to their native L.A. Dates:

06-11 New York City, NY - Bowery Ballroom
06-12 Boston, MA - The Paradise
06-14 Philadelphia, PA - North Star Bar
06-15 Baltimore, MD - Fletcher's
06-16 Carrboro, NC - Cat's Cradle
06-17 Nashville, TN - Exit/In
06-18 Atlanta, GA - The Earl East
