The band's biggest asset has always been Crossingham's voice and his perma-falsetto soars throughout the disc, while it can't hold the presence it is able to in a live setting, it's nevertheless an impressive base for the sparse and stirring instrumentation.
The powerful vocal interplay between Crossingham and bassist Scott Remila, a key element of their live show, is prominent, and newest member Dylan Green offers a strong backbone that was missing from much of their debut.
The EP closes out with a stripped down, six minute version of "Country Home" with John accompanied solely by a banjo and though the melody is intriguing enough (the full band version I've heard live is outstanding), it's hard to not be bored to tears even half way through.

To pull it off as well as they did was truly a feat, one which won the respect of the entire audience, who seemed as transfixed on the set as I was.
The song is so bare and beautiful that it's hard not to be pulled in by the sincerity of his voice and the lyrics ("But you are such an exceptional girl/ That I just can't get sick of this world").
Perhaps the most obvious love song of the lot (all lyrics are written in the booklet as a long love letter addressed "Dear Lesa" and signed "From John," also a cute idea), it's one of the many moments on the album that tend to stick in my head for days on end.

 Raising the Fawn - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Raising the Fawn originated around 1997 as a quiet, introspective bedroom project for Toronto's John Crossingham, who at the time was holding down a day job as a member of ThanatoPop.
Recording sessions for a record called The North Sea followed, but soon after its completion Crossingham and bassist/vocalist Scott Remila were abandoned by everyone else in the group, leaving North dead in the water.
Crossingham concentrated on his contributions to Broken Social Scene, and the Fawn went on hiatus yet again.

RTF frontman/guitarist John Crossingham said he views the record as a novel or a film, with the two 10-plus minute epics that close the album representing the climax and denouement.
Not that he doesn’t appreciate a great pop song or a band whose records are collections of really good singles, but often times they are just that: a collection of songs and it doesn’t matter if they’re on a mix tape or CD.
During that time Crossingham and Remila recorded an EP called By the Warmth of Your Flame to “keep the creative juices flowing” and audition new drummers.

Mr Crossingham: I have a great deal of difficulty with the soft service portion of development charges because they are so difficult to pin down.
Mr Crossingham: I think the answer to that question is really whether the municipality chooses to have separate development charges for portions of the municipality or whether it levies a development charge equally across the municipality.
Mr Crossingham: I think the idea I'm proposing to you is to use the development charge as a means of the community sharing among itself -- and that's the development community and the existing residents -- the cost and benefit of the development.

 Hour.ca - Music - Raising The Fawn
Crossingham started RTF in 1997 as a means of providing himself with a quieter, more delicate departure from the fuzzy indie rock bands he was playing with at the time.
But the project sputtered for years with five drummer changes along the way and, last spring, the departure of two of the four members just when things were looking up.
But Crossingham and bassist Scott Remila decided to stay the course, reinventing themselves as a trio with drummer Dylan Green and delaying the release of the fragile, heavy, brilliant The North Sea (recorded mostly in 2002) until February, when they were ready to perform it live.

 Straight.com Vancouver | Music Previews | Raising the Fawn finally gets its act together
John Crossingham is a busy guy these days, but he doesn't seem to mind.
That Raising the Fawn is touring at all is impressive; that the band still exists at all is a testament to the work ethic of Crossingham and bassist Scott Remila.
So instead of revelling in the completion of what will surely be hailed as one of 2004's finest Canuck-rock discs, Crossingham and Remila found themselves shelving the album and rebuilding as a trio.

 Cokemachineglow.com - Music reviews
Raising the Fawn started out as a vehicle for Toronto singer/songwriter and former ThanatoPop member John Crossingham (now also a member of Broken Social Scene and by far the nicest employee at Toronto's infamous Soundscapes), who enlisted a group of friends and guest musicians to make the eponymous debut Fawn record.
Recorded in early summer and fall of 2002 (with some additional recordings added by John in early 2003), the record has remained unreleased for nearly two years, finally finding its way out of limbo thanks to their new label, Sonic Unyon.
At four and a half minutes, it's the shortest track here and exhibits the kind of ethic that is quickly ignored by "July 23rd" and the title track.

 Eye Weekly - High tides - 04.15.04
The album was released this past February, but singer-guitarist John Crossingham and bassist Scott Remila were shaking this proverbial Polaroid picture for a good two years.
But the word Crossingham uses most often to describe music is "heart." He doesn't look at his songs as the mere musical byproduct of putting finger to fretboard, but as investing inanimate entities with their own emotional needs; "this record will take time to make friends," he says.
For Crossingham, the worst reaction to The North Sea wouldn't be accusations of being long-winded or ponderous, but rather for someone to interpret his falsettoed testimonials as open-diary melodrama.

As a result, they brought in a number of friends from the Toronto indie scene -- Andrew Whiteman, Jason Collett, Metric's Emily Haines and Leslie Feist -- to flesh out their live show with lyrics and vocals.
Over time, the band also came to include contributions from James Shaw, Evan Cranley, Justin Peroff, John Crossingham and Stars' Amy Millan.
Collett took time off to promote his solo release Idols of Exile, and to attend to his family, prior to the 2005 fall tour.

Raising the Fawn was the solo project of John Crossingham, whom you might recognize from Canada's Broken Social Scene.
Crossingham's vocals definitely stray into a very Thom Yorke falsetto, but he has a good, strong voice that carry the songs well.
This song highlights the nice harmonies between Crossingham and Remila, but as soon as you begin to enjoy them and it sound's like the song is going somewhere, they drop it entirely, break out the shakers and the synths and, dammit, it sounds like Radiohead again.

John Crossingham's Raising the Fawn is an occasional side project that turned into a full-time band.
Begun as a quiet home-recording antidote to the loud rock of Crossingham's Thanatopop group, the Fawn soon swelled into a four-piece soft pop ensemble.
The group's self-titled, self-released debut is delightfully understated, only occasionally breaking above a whisper.

 Raising the Fawn: The Maginot Line - PopMatters Music Review
Although John Crossingham has long been part of the extended Broken Social Scene family, his own band Raising the Fawn tends to stand alone, keeping a polite distance from the other collaborative celebrations we usually get from the band’s Toronto cohorts.
Whereas The North Sea alternated between moments of effervescent pop ("Gwendolyn"), gentle beauty ("The News"), and epic waves of guitar ("Drownded"), The Maginot Line is less about the instantly accessible thrills, emphasizing a more subtle, slower-burning style, with better continuity, the mix less bombastic and much more intimate.
Preceded by a sumptuous overture of ascending, E-bowed guitar notes, the equally ascendant “Carbon Paper” is the closest thing to an accessible, single-worthy song on the album, Crossingham’s versatile voice alternating between soaring notes and gentle falsetto (which has become his trademark), the band careening toward a cacophonous, Sonic Youth-like climax.
