Fantasy Of A Broken Heart – “AFV”

Fantasy Of A Broken Heart – “AFV”

Since meeting at the now-defunct Bushwick venue Heck in 2017, Al Nardo and Bailey Wollowitz have played in bands like Water From Your Eyes and Sloppy Jane. They formed Fantasy Of A Broken Heart a few years ago, though the releases have been minimal. Today, they’re announcing their signing to Dots Per Inch and sharing the vibrant tune “AFV.”

“I started writing ‘AFV’ during a sunrise walk home after the final show at now-closed Brooklyn DIY venue The Glove,” Wollowitz said in a statement. “I wanted to put some sad music on for the stroll but my phone was dead and the skeleton of ‘AFV’ appeared in my head to fill the void. Literally speaking, ‘AFV’ is a stoner comedy about having a meet-cute with someone on the subway and getting their number but realizing that they’re a weed delivery person who thought you were just trying to buy pot. Because you reek of pot and have been smiling at them while reeking of pot.”

They added, “Beyond that, it’s also about being inflicted with a demon’s curse that has stripped away your ability to feel any sort of joy.”
