With âa voice for the gods that can transport listeners to other realmsâ (Boston Globe), Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-1990s NYC- based chamber-pop group October Project, a band known for their lush harmonies, sweeping melodies and Fahlâs unique and powerful vocals. After two records on Epic, the band disbanded, but Fahl had more freedom to pursue her own muse, whether that meant writing and recording songs for movies (including the theme for the Civil War epic âGods and Generalsâ), singing arias and medieval Spanish songs for Sony Classical or releasing a unique album-length take on âDark Side of the MoonââŚ
With an earthy, viscerally powerful contralto that bridges the generational gap between Fairport Conventionâs Sandy Denny and London Grammarâs Hannah Reid, Mary Fahl makes music that feels timeless, esoteric and ecumenical. Her elegant, cinematic songs have a hauntingly gothic romanticism that inspired renowned writer Anne Rice to portray Maryâs voice emanating from a dead womanâs room in her 2013 novel The Wolves of MidwinterâŚ
Over the past few years, sheâs been touring and recording on her own label, Rimar Records, and her recent releases have garnered awards including an Indie Acoustic Award for Best Live Album for âLive at the Mauch Chunk Opera Houseâ (filmed for PBS) and a 2020 Independent Music Award for her recent holiday album, âWinter Songs and Carolsâ. Her latest release, a Blu-ray 5.1 surround DVD, âFrom the Dark Side of the Moonâ, brilliantly mixed by Bob Clearmountain, won the 2021 Immersive Album Audio Listenerâs Choice award and was named âImmersive Album of the Yearâ by Life in Surround.
Now she returns with âCanât Get It Out of My Headâ. In an effort to find some light and comfort during these challenging times, singer/songwriter Fahl looks back to some of the essential music that has brought her sustenance and clarity by reinterpreting songs from her greatest inspirations ⌠Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Moody Blues, ELO, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and others. For Mary, this is a tribute to the music that defined her as an artist.
