Praise For Faded Paper Figures' Sophomore Album "New Medium"

New Medium was released on May 25th and the blogosphere is already buzzing about Faded Paper Figures' latest release.

The band achieved an astounding TWO song appearances on the Hype Machine Most Popular Chart in the SAME WEEK ("Invent It All Again" and "North By North").

See what bloggers are saying:

“a bit pashy pit, a bit death cab and a lot of awesome.” – Together In Digital Dreams

"Invent," is sumptuous, crush worthy indie pop that's perfect for doing the indie shuffle to, holding hands, or making out. The sound track for summer just popped up on your Ipod...enjoy it.” – The Pop Stereo

“And if the tune is any indication of their ability to create some absolutely downright tooth ache inducing electronica coded sugary indie pop, well, sign me up.” – Pulp And Circumstance

“Glad music like this is still being made. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best policy.” – Off The Radar

“4/5 Stars. Faded Paper Figures are creative innovators and talented musicians. The depth of the instrumentals, the tricky pairing of electronica with serious subjects, and the winsome vocals and harmonies make ‘New Medium’ not just a big step in the right direction for the band, but for all the genre-hopping artists that are beginning to fill the industry.” – The Album Project

“The band’s new album New Medium is set for release next week, and if the rest sounds as good as “Invent It All Again” we’ll have something special on our hands. It’s bubbly indie-pop electronica and it makes me want to listen to more.” – Tympanogram

“Ladytron and Postal Service just made sweets-weet lovin', here's their baby..” – Everything Is Chemical

Faded Paper Figures Release New Album "New Medium" And Mp3 For Download

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

Music featured on: Grey's Anatomy, MTV's "The Real World"
