December 21st, 2012: The day we celebrate the blunder of a bunch of primordial, half-naked, feather wearing dimwits, the birth of Snooki’s child and the extraordinary amount of social media spam we are all currently receiving in our inbox that'll no doubt continue over the course of the weekend. Get ready to post your best "end of the world" Facebook status folks, because “Doomsday” is officially upon us! Or not. To celebrate our long lives into the future; over the course of the week, Magnetic Magazine asked some of our favorite DJs/producers one question: "If the [...]
Reasons to procrastinate your holiday shopping: ► "The Merry Minstrel Musical Circus" — a benefit for Little Kids Rock and the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund — brings a huge cast of luminaries to the sold-out Troubadour — Jonathan Wilson , Mike Campbell & Friends, Bob Weir , Jackson Browne and Benmont Tench. ► Electro-pop trio Faded Paper Figures (pictured) visit the Satellite behind their new album "The Matter" [ see our post from October ] — it's probably the threesome's last L.A. show until the summer because Kael and [...]

After the first listen to Faded Paper Figures “Piledrive” (Club Remix) I kept listening because I thought maybe I was missing something. Was I not hearing something I should have? read more
Today's song is "Holy Smoke" by Faded Paper Figures . This song is off their latest album Matter . Comprised of R. John Williams (vocals, guitar), Kael Alden (synths, guitars, bass, drums, machines, trumpet, violin) and Heather Alden (additional vocals, synths, piano) this band has a sweet indie-electronic vibe. Listen below and for more information on Faded Paper Figures check out their official website . The post Song of the Day: "Holy Smoke" by Faded Paper Figures appeared first on Eat Sleep Breathe Music .
The only theme we have for this mix is that its heavy on the progressive house theme. Since this is a variance from the usual indie rock we cater so heavily towards, this list is no exception in terms of remixes which we tout frequently on MUF. In our eyes, this list is not meant to match our Best Remixes You've Ever Heard series. Rather its meant for ear candy only to quickly glaze over our past week of discoveries and tracks that have been remixed, rewound and sent in our direction. We're sure you'll find at [...]
Apesar do pouco reconhecimento mundial, o Faded Paper Figures não é uma banda nova. O trio (formado por Kael Alden, R. John Williams e Heather Alden) vem de Los Angeles, Califórnia, para deixar o indie pop ainda mais interessante. Tudo começou lá em 2007 após uma discussão muito inteligente entre John e Kael sobre a música que tocava nas rádios naquela época. Trocaram figurinhas sobre seus trabalhos e não demorou muito para começarem a trabalhar juntos em algum material caseiro. Heather apareceu algum tempo depois para dar forma à banda - foi aí que o nome Faded Paper [...]
When Faded Paper Figures emerged out of Orange County around 2008, there weren't nearly as many bands riding in the Postal Service's slipstream — and even fewer slathering their electronic beats with kids-next-door boy/girl vocals. Four years later, John Williams and Kael and Heather Alden seem like old hands. Their third album, "The Matter," came out this week, the result of quite a bit of bi-coastal hopscotching (those books in the press photo aren't just decoration; Williams teaches at Yale) and more than a year of ratcheting up the flavors in their guitar-synths-beats cocktail. "The Matter" [...]
Well, Faded Paper Figures told us it would happen in October, but didn't say exactly when. So in my eyes they pulled a fast one (as of about 11 hours ago). We found out via Twitter, not even on their website, that their new album ‘The Matter’ is out today via iTunes. Surprise! So add that to today’s beautiful, glowing list of new releases. The album you've all been waiting for! Faded Paper Figures "The Matter" available now. itunes.apple.com/us/album/the- m… — Faded Paper Figures (@fpfmusic) October 23, [...]
@fpfmusic Género: Indie pop, electronic. Hace algo más de un mes alertaba por aquí sobre Piledrive , el primer adelanto de Faded Paper Figures y su The Matter , el tercer largo previsto para el 23 de octubre. Pues bien, hace unos días que me dijo Toni que sigue "faded"... yo también. Habemus nuevo single: Holy Smoke , aunque por medio también han adelantado Information Runs Off que no está nada mal. A lo que iba que me despisto, [...]
Hooray! Well, we've been waiting to share this news with you all, but have just been searching for the right moment . That right moment happens right now. One of MUF's most enthusiastic followings has been Faded Paper Figures who just so happened to have announced the coming of their new album titled The Matter . Even more exciting than that, the band posted two songs from their upcoming album titled "Piledrive" (hich already has a club mix), and "Information Runs On". The band has offered the two songs to [...]
One of my first posts here at The Music Ninja was one of my all-time favorite bands, Faded Paper Figures . Well, a few years have passed and here I am again, writing about a group that is always a heavy hitter in my rotation. The masters of poppy indietronica just dropped this single yesterday from their upcoming album, The Matter , due out in October. It features a bevy of instruments including guitar, drums, a banjo, some woodwinds instruments, synthesizers, old timey movie samples, and an old man playing the spoon. Ok, there's [...]
@fpfmusic Género: indie pop, electronic. Me entero por Toni que la tripleta formada en Irvine, EUA, nos adelanta el single Piledrive , primera muestra de su tercer largo que se titulará The Matter , que saldrá a la venta en el mes de octubre. Kael Alden (guitar, bass, keyboards), R. John Williams (vocals, guitar) y Heather Alden (backing vocals, keyboards) sorprendieron a la comunidad indietrónica, amante de pop azucarado, con su debut Dinamo allá por el 2008. Dos años después se consolidaron y acumularon adeptos [...]
Faded Paper Figures are an electro-pop trio hailing from Los Angeles, and they've been hibernating since releasing their last album back in 2010. "Piledrive" is a fresh look off of their third studio album, The Matter, due out in October. The synth-driven production will undoubtedly get some Passion Pit comparisons ... Read More
It's been awhile since we've heard from Los Angeles' own Faded Paper Figures , but this new track, "Piledrive," certainly makes the last two years worth the wait. The electro-pop band put their best foot forward here, churning out what will probably be one of the catchiest songs that Fall 2012 will see. With weaving, skittering synths, a chorus as big as the moon, and the kind of beats that will make your heart pump out of its own chest, it's got that perfect dose of pop flavor to propel this trio amongst the ranks [...]
It can be tough to keep up with the constant onslaught of music and many times tough to discern the good from the bad. While this list is by no means a complete listing of all of the great stuff arriving in the coming Fall months, we open this to be a forum of what you think is worth listening to this fall in the comments below. That said, here are twelve albums we're really looking forward to (in no particular order) - album art included: Pinback [...]
Suicide Sundaes - Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen, Sunday is back. Greg is here to bring you the week's dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn't care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. This week, we're back at ya with a ton of great tracks, kicking things off with a Bloc Party remix done by SLDGHMR . After that, we have for you a new [...]
