  Fontanelle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In human anatomy, a fontanelle (or fontanel) is one of two "soft spots" on a newborn human's skull.
At birth, the skull features a small posterior fontanelle, an open area covered by a tough membrane, where the two parietal bones adjoin the occipital bone.
This fontanelle remains open until the child is about two years of age.

Fontanelles are the "soft spots" on an infant's head where the bony plates that make up the skull have not yet come together.
There are two fontanelles (the space between the bones of an infant's skull where the sutures intersect) that are covered by tough membranes.
The "soft spot," or anterior fontanelle, is an area where the bones that form the sides of the head (left and right parietals) join the one forming the forehead (frontal bone)...

Fontanelle rises, fully-formed, from the carcass of Jessamine.
But Fontanelle, bereft of vocals, is free to stretch.
Though fans of jazz-styled, improvisation-friendly music are likely to take Fontanelle's sound in their stride, some will still crave the linear-style closure of a "big" ending.

The fontanelles ("soft spot") are two* areas on the head of an infant where the skull bones do not completely cover the brain.
The posterior fontanelle is no longer palpable by the fourth month, but the larger anterior fontanelle can be felt until 9-16 months of age (although it can be seen on xray for a few more months).
A bulging fontanelle could be benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) or a sign of meningitis.

The debut album, Fontanelle, extends and develops the sound of the last Jessamine album, Don't Stay Too Long, taking the bubbling electric piano and synthesizers of that album into even more complex patterns.

Fontanelle takes drums, keyboards and guitars, tightens up the interplay and weaves taut patterns that touch on the liquidity of fusion jazz and the crystalline angles of IDM electronics.

With their new band, the pair has employed a variable lineup to further explore the warm, ambient synth-and-guitar sound towards which Jessamine was moving at the time of its breakup.
As warm and ambient as this band sounds, their sound is far from relaxing; rather, they invoke the slightly dangerous, tense, exotic flavor of Herbie Hancock's late '60s/early '70s electric piano work and the hallucinatory, hypnotic qualities of '70s krautrock.
Released in 2001, Fontanelle's F is a collection of tracks taken from three years of recording sessions, including those which produced the band's debut album.

 Fontanelle: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
Fontanelle is a four piece band with guitars, keyboards and drums, featuring two people who used to be in Jessamine.
At first Fontanelle sounded to me like a talented band retreading the past, a group that would be fun to watch live but isn't too exciting on record.
Sure, some of their influences are right out in the open, but overall Fontanelle play with a ton of subtlety and depth, and enough originality to make this a worthwhile experience.

Fontanelle plugs the gaping hole torn in post-rock by Dawn Smithson's departure from Jessamine.
But the expressive arpeggios and simplistic guitar phrasing of the droning "Niagara" would seemingly despise being labelled a "song" in the first place-- they'd argue calmly that their project is to show rather than tell with an audio/ visual aptitude just now solidifying for fellow Kranky darlings Godspeed You Black Emperor.
On "Reflex vs. Parallax," Fontanelle ruminates on Jessamine's mirrored countenance to the tune of a palindromic bassline.

 Fontanelle: Style Drift - PopMatters Music Review
Fontanelle would be the ideal response to your 19-year-old friends who think they're the first to discover Miles Davis; see, you could say, kicking back on your yellow paisley second-hand sofa, people obviously not only dig him, they also play like him.
This could be the kiss of death for a less cohesive, looser band, but Fontanelle's members play off each other like old friends and appear to know exactly where they're going.
If Fontanelle were willing to expand a bit beyond the very small niche they've cornered for themselves, we really might be on to something.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Fontanelle: Style Drift
These songs are no great departure from any other Fontanelle release; the group still hasn't found the desire for climax -- something that's undone them before, and does on some of the longer tracks here -- but they're still making more than enough good compositional choices to hold interest for the duration.
Fontanelle's tunes don't exactly follow the beginning-middle-end formula, and are more elliptical than most.
More than most lounge electro acts, Fontanelle are in touch with where swinging-ass music comes from.

But, from my own experience with Fontanelle's latest EP, I can assure you that not even the stankest, dankest, juiciest nugs this side of New Hampshire could make it truly engaging.
Featuring ex-Jessamine members Rex Ritter and Andy Brown, Fontanelle improvise grooves on the playful, Krauty tip for this EP's duration, but their repetitive, synthetic, and vocal-less jazz is more likely to induce a typical, marijuana-induced short attention span than zoned-out bliss.
Elsewhere, Fontanelle showcases a worst-case scenario for head arrangements.
