Jon Sandler and The Fancy Band have been steadily garnering attention in the US since the release of debut single ‘Late Night Champ’ earlier this year. The acclaimed single has been supported by prolific live performances across their home state of New York and the rest of the USA.

Current single, ‘Take My Time’, shows a change in direction from their previous release, replacing electric flourishes with acoustic melodies and vocals more reminiscent of Gavin DeGraw, with elements of FUN and David Gray.

Sandler says of the single:

“While I was writing it I was feeling very out of place in NYC, thinking that it doesn’t feel like home which is why I was in a rush to make a girl my ‘home’. I’m happy to take my time with most things, but not a relationship – life’s too short for that.”

The band was formed in 2010, by lead man and song-writer Jon Sandler who wrote his first album at just 17. Sandler has deliberately taken his time crafting an album to be proud of recorded almost entirely in New York, the state he sees as the band’s natural home.

The production credits on the record are somewhat impressive, including collaborations with Grammy-nominated Justin Gerrish (Weezer, Muse, Vampire Weekend) and Chris Gehringer (Lady GaGa). The single is no exception to Sandler’s quest for quality, encompassing incessant piano motifs and infectious vocal patterns which make it a natural choice for single release.
