Fables From a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three...: Release Notes: Muze 
Full title: Fables From a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times Is True.Fair To Midland: Darroh Sudderth (vocals); Cliff Campbell (guitar); Matt Langley (keyboards); Jon Dicken (bass guitar); Brett Stowers (drums).Additional personnel: Claudio Vena (viola).Progressive metal outfit Fair To Midland make their full-length debut with FABLES FROM A MAYFLY: WHAT I TELL YOU THREE TIMES IS TRUE, a loosely connected concept album held together by the Texas quintet's mixture of heavy stoner rock, tricky time signature changes and technically advanced riffs. Mixing delicate interludes like the spacy, Pink Floyd-esque "The Wife, the Kids and the White Picket Fence" with full-on prog-metal dazzlers such as the first single "Dance of the Manatee," this is a complex, richly rewarding slab of dense heady metal.

Muze

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.48) - "FTL spread their net wide, infusing their artful arrangements with proggy, electronic swirls, and a deft ear for melodious hooks and vast choruses."
