Fair Visions’ EP ‘A Way Out’ offers a new way to escape

Painting a perfect picture of feeling left out, Fair Visions’ EP A Way Out pairs cheerful synths with the familiar feeling of watching everyone else enjoy themselves, wondering what you’re missing out on. One of the first songs written by Fair Visions’ Ryan Work after his move from Boston’s Berklee College of Music to Brooklyn, “A Goodbye” reflects on change, and the obstacles that accompany it. Regarding the track, Work added, “To me, the song is just a checking out of a world that’s too occupied with itself to even notice you’ve drifted off.”

Closing the EP, “A Goodbye” was co-produced with Abe Seifirth (LCD Soundsystem, Car Seat Headrest, Susanne Sundfor). While the track begins with uncertainty, Work ends the track with a sense of self, and understanding, as he points out in the chorus that we’re all following similar paths, singing, “Now everyone is having fun, and everyone has something they are hiding.”

The rest of A Way Out finds heavy influences in its genre’s pioneers, like Depeche Mode and New Order. Work creates tracks that transport to another world, one moving at a different, unusual rhythm, but moving to it feels good and right.
