Anything but “fair” reviews, Tooth & Nail Records’ Fair releases their sophomore effort, “Disappearing World,” to rave reviews and fan reaction this week.    All-Star producer Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, Acceptance, Copeland, The Almost, Demon Hunter, Kutless, Jeremy Camp) leads Fair into a positive future with this indie-rock record.  To celebrate the release of “Disappearing World,” Fair is debuting their title-track music video on AbsolutePunk.net (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1550891).  In addition to today’s music video premiere, Fair has posted an in-studio video for “Walking In My Sleep” on the band’s MySpace with more live videos to come.

Already touted as a 2010 Album of the Year contender by some reviewers, Fair has hit the nail on the head with this release. Here are what media outlets are shouting about Fair:
“It’s probably for the best if you pay attention, it’d be a shame if you miss out on one of the best records of 2010.”
-- AbsolutePunk.net

“When it gets down to it, Disappearing World is a great pop-rock album to fit any mood. Listening to Fair makes me smile.”
--Sputnikmusic.com

“Fair is a collaboration of seasoned musicians making a dent in this contemporary rock scene the size of a meteor.”
--ReviewRinseRepeat.com

“Excellently done lyrically and musically, Disappearing World is worth the four year wait! With a seemingly excellent job done by Aaron Sprinkle and the rest of Fair, they give us possibly one of the best albums of 2010!” --IndieVisionMusic.com

“Lightning apparently does strike twice, because the boys of Fair have created yet another near-perfect album that was more than worth the wait.” --JesusFreakHideout.com

“Disappearing World is a stellar album. Disappearing World is a near perfect album by Fair.”
--TheChristianManifesto.com

“What we have here is a polished sound, which is quite the accomplishment for what is only a sophomore album.”
--ChristianMusicZine.com

“Disappearing World takes the sound from the debut to a whole new level - creating more solid melodies and memorable vocal performances this time around.  Overall, Disappearing World is a sure highlight in Sprinkle’s already celebrated career.” --TheBridgeLive.net

“Hands down a huge step up for the band in every way.”
--TheAlbumProject.net

Most associate the name Aaron Sprinkle with production credits in liner notes as an all-star producer (Anberlin, Acceptance, Copeland, The Almost, Demon Hunter, Kutless, Jeremy Camp) based in Seattle, WA.  However for those that pay attention, he has also been a leader of Poor Old Lu and Rose Blossom Punch and more recently Fair, who released their debut album “The Best Worst-Case Scenario” in 2006 on Tooth & Nail Records. Sprinkle and team are back with Fair’s sophomore release, “Disappearing World,” set to release February 9, 2010.

With their debut album, Fair received wide media acclaim.  Absolutepunk.net stated that it was “toward the top of their list for 2006”; Jesusfreakhideout.com named the album “really impressive”; Emotionalpunk.com said it was “a perfect collection of songs”; Sputnikmusic.com touted that “Fair is much better than its name.” It is no surprise that fans are ready for the second dose of this band who is known for sophisticated songwriting and structured pop song appeal.

“Musically I wanted to really tap into my influences, which are mostly ‘60s and ‘70s and lot of ‘80s too,” says Sprinkle. “And that’s really the feel of this record- a lot of very retro moments wearing those influences on our sleeve. The record’s more dynamic and exciting in some places than the last one, but it’s also more fragile and sincere in other places.”

Putting himself in the spotlight as opposed to sitting in the producer seat, Sprinkle is excited about this album more than any other record.

“I’ve never been this excited about something I’ve done before,” he promises. “I don’t question a single moment on this record and that’s a huge thing for me because normally I’m incredibly insecure when it comes to my own music. I’m so happy with every moment and I owe that to the guys in the band because it’s a great place for me to bounce ideas off of.”

Back this second round are members Erick Newbill (guitar), Joey Sanchez (drums, percussion) Nick Barber (bass) and Aaron Sprinkle (vocals, guitar).  For more information visit: www.myspace.com/fair. Follow on Twitter http://twitter.com/fairforever
