![[review] The Fervor – Arise, Great Warrior](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3545991_lg.jpg)
Review by Brian Tucker Louisville, KY seems to be fertile ground, giving life to bands The Fervor , soulful cello player Ben Sollee and even attracting acoustic funk rocker Kurt Reifler during the summer. Geography or not, the musicians and resulting music have been off the beaten path of mainstream expectations while remaining utterly listenable. The Fervor is easy to like, especially if your tastes run the gamut of music that’s smoky, bereft of a little daylight, and whose lead singer is part chanteuse [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: The Fervor Video: 'Crazy for the Feeling' Highlight: "We shot mostly in New Albany, Ind., just across the river from our headquarters in Louisville, Ky.," the Fervor singer Natalie Felker tells Spinner. "The combination of the downtown's timeless aesthetic and gorgeous spring weather set the tone. The song is a little wild and playful, and we tried to capture that feeling in the video."

As you have probably ascertained, given Dodge's lineage, MOKB has something of an open door policy regarding artists from Louisville. The latest entry from River City comes from The Fervor , a female-fronted americana-esque quartet that has only recently released their latest, Arise, Great Warrior . Single Crazy For The Feeling was directed by Wax Fang's Scott Carney and Ryan Daly of the Louisville Film Society, and shot on location in Louisville and historic New Albany, Indiana.

THE FERVOR & BAEBLE MUSIC ARE CRAZY FOR THE FEELING **Louisville band's new video opus debuts on BaebleMusic.com today!** "I had a dream I was being chased by two lions...their manes shining in the sun and blowing in the breeze as they chased me across an African plain with no end in sight or shelter of any kind. Hoping I could outwit them, I dove into a stream (thinking perhaps they could not smell me if I was underwater) but they dove right in after me and sank their teeth into my neck...and I [...]

"Forged in the hothouse that is Louisville’s indie-rock scene, The Fervor has been known to deliver unpretentious rock ’n’ roll replete with eerie, ambient guitar riffs and soul-laid-bare vocals of gut wrenching intensity. Since their 2007 debut, Bleeder, The Fervor, led by the harmonious alto crooning and glistening keys of Natalie Felker, has criss-crossed the Eastern half of the United States and drawn crowds at festivals including CMJ and Forecastle. With the addition of Michael Campbell on bass and Mat Herron providing steady, trance-inducing beats, they’ve released their second full-length studio album, Arise, Great Warrior, just released on Removador(MP3), Karate [...]

Hang around this blogging racket enough and you run out of superlatives with which to recommend a band or a vinyl release. It's just a hazard of the job, I'm thinking. So, to recommend Louisville's The Fervor to you and their second full length LP, Arise Great Warrior, I turn this post over to My Morning Jacket's Jim James: "I had a dream I was being chased by two lions...their manes shining in the sun and blowing in the [...]
