Fresh Tunes with a Nostalgic Bent

“Fontaine James' album is called The Odd Fellows Hall. It is such a good record. It's not like anything else you're gonna hear right now and that is the best possible endorsement because we have enough of everything else. People say what's fresh? What's new? Well guess what? What's fresh and new is a record that goes back to basics. A record that goes back to the fundamentals of song craft, great lyrics, of melodies that you'll remember for hours and days after you've first heard them. And what a great singer as well.”

Larry Flick, Siriusxm host / Billboard editor

“The Odd Fellows Hall has a charm and honesty that seems to be the cornerstone of Fontaine's music. In fact, the album on the whole is like a collection of short stories, rich in character and deep in narrative. And all that is tied together with a wonderful melodic bow, adding to the rich texture of the collection. After I have listened to this album time and time again, I am still excited as I listen. This album is a great addition to my music collection. The music manages to do something rare, which is to be hard to categorize, yet remain truly memorable.”

Howard Stump, Soundtrack To My Day

An upbeat song cycle with an eerie undercurrent sung in straightforward parallel harmony.

Think the Everly Brothers with a dark secret.

A wild and rollicking cinematic romp - humorous, poignant, inventive, and completely unexpected.

This is lush, theatrical pop.
