In their much-anticipated second album, New Medium, Faded Paper Figures return with a richer, fuller sound, even as they maintain all of Dynamo's indie-tronica charm. Fans of the band will be happy to hear all of the familiar blips, harmonies, and intellectual pop-references, but with even more life and energy this time around. Striking melodies, lyrical images, and classic pop forms--New Medium's lush electronica feels both intimately familiar and astonishingly new.
Praise for Faded Paper Figures' previous album, Dynamo:
“A perfect balance of upbeat and soothing electronics . . . clever, intriguing at times, and even beautiful” --National Public Radio
“One of 2009’s new music must-haves. . . . With not a hint of generic audio, their entire first attempt called ‘Dynamo,’ lacks only one thing: a follow-up album.” --New York Post
“Song of the Day…so relaxing, free-flowing, and effecting” --KEXP, Seattle
“I’m amazed nobody has snatched them already. It counts with twelve tracks that go from soft mellow acoustic infused songs to more upbeat happy go-lucky electronically complemented tracks that thru it all melt together to make a great crisp autumn’s morning soundtrack.” –Tilt Music Blog
“Grab your mittens and a portable stereo kids, Faded Paper Figures have made the most wonderful winter wooksie since Belle & Sebastian’s track of the same name. All rosy cheeks and saccharine vocals this is one to stave off the festive blues for sure.” –Subba-Cultcha
“The music of Faded Paper Figures sounds like a love story that you know only happens in movies, but at one point - maybe when you were a bit younger - you believed it existed. I can’t think of a movie that fulfills what I’m trying to describe, but its a movie where the writer has taken great care with every detail so that it all fits in place to bring about a conclusion of absolute magic and awe.” –AudioMuffin.com
