Deer Fellow: “Fool For You”

Michael McKinney

Sonic ingenuity with ruffles imbued with love is the thesis of Austin indie duo Deer Fellow. Blending sonic loops and synth-sibilities with violin intimacy, they set a romantic mood that can’t help but creep in from the background. Newly married, Matt Salois and Alyssa Kelly are well into their season of love, beautifully illustrated through their latest single “Fool For You.” As the duo puts it, “the song is an old-fashioned style of love song, a nod to the Great American Songbook with a modern twist, blending bedroom pop with indie soul.”

Deer Fellow are playing a charity event on Monday, March 16th at Wolfhouse ATX on E. Cesar Chavez raising awareness for type 1 diabetes, pancreatic cancer, and the Whipple Warriors. They also have an early show on Saturday, March 28th at Batch on Manor Rd.
