History
Raising the Fawn was formed by Crossingham, in 1997 as a solo recording project, but soon was joined by Remilla.[1] They released their self-titled first album in 2001.[2] The group grew to four members with the addition of singer Julie Booth and drummer Jon Drew.[3][4]
The EP By the Warmth of Your Flame came out in 2003. 2004's The North Sea, recorded two years earlier, contained lively, rhythmic arrangements.[5] By the time it was released, Booth and Drew had left, and Green was the band's drummer.
In 2006, the now three-member band released The Maginot Line.[6] The album was recorded near Kingston, Ontario,[7] and was a combination of indie rock and shoegazing music with heavy percussion.[8] That year the band toured Canada to promote the album.[9]
