Best known as a guitarist for Vancouver's indie rock supergroup
the New Pornographers (he joined in 2002 and played on their 2003 record,
Electric Version),
Todd Fancey was also a member of
Limblifter and played bass on their 2000 release,
Bellaclava. Originally hailing from Nova Scotia,
Fancey was in many bands before joining
Limblifter, including
Macabre, Sunshower, Virgin Lust, Jack Tripper, and
Taste of Joy. In 2004, he released his solo project under the name
Fancey for March Records. Drawing on his love of '70s AM pop and bands like
the Association,
Sagittarius, and
Stereolab, and with help from friends
Kurt Dahle and Sara Lapsley, the record was an auspicious debut. He followed up in 2007 with a second solo effort,
Schmancey, building on his retro-inspired pop. While he would remain active touring and recording another three LPs with
the New Pornographers, a full decade would pass before
Fancey returned for another round with 2017's Love Mirage. ~ Tim Sendra
