Faded Paper Figures

For me, this is the second coming of The Postal Service at least that's what this band sounds like to me. As with the Postal Service, from what I've heard so far from this band, the perceived simplicity of the songs and programming make it a joy to listen to, and I love the glitchy and stuttering elements as well. Still, it has a warmth to it that makes it feel more like a band project and less like uh, hmm...a non-band project. You know, it doesn't SOUND programmed...anyway...what's that quote? "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." Yeah. What he said.

You may of heard one of the guys from this band already...he wrote the music for a Lexus commercial as part of his day job. Check out the You Tube clip of the commercial.

And for those of you in Japan...

For now, you can get their record through CD Baby...but I want to wait for the version that has the cool artwork on it from Laura Ljungkvist (she's been commissioned by the band's label in Japan to do all the artwork for the CD).

Thanks goes to my friend (and former roomie) Martin, for bringing Faded Paper Figures to my attention...
