Faunts: Left Here Alone - If you're looking for dreamy pop, look no further than Faunts . From their debut, High Expectations/Low Results , to 20092s Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. , they haven't really strayed far from their original idea at all. While over the course of a couple of years they slowly began speeding their songs up a bit to showcase their penchant for writing more crowd friendly pop songs, their dreamy qualities were still felt in every note of every song. If you were thinking you'd heard of them before but [...]
It's difficult not to be a fan of Faunts . From the first time I heard High Expectations/Low Results about 8 years ago, I was instantly a fan. They've embodied the very definition of Dream Pop from the very beginning and anytime I even bother labeling anyone Dream Pop, I hold them up to the glaring standard that they've set. We thought the romantically somber tone of this song was irresistibly perfect for The Graduate and Dustin Hoffman's hard-fought struggle to find love in a world he couldn't relate-to. Enjoy.

by Tiana Feng Though these guys often describe themselves as shoegazers, they're a bit more than that and less fuzzy and definitely not lo-fi. This week they released an EP titled Left Here Alone which is filled with delicate emotion and swaying atmospheric tendencies. There's a brilliant ambient quality to it, without being boring. Below you can download What I'd Love To Hear You Say from the album but you can stream the entire Left Here Alone EP over at Exclaim! [...]
Dreamy and surreal, Faunts new EP Leave Here Alone has echoing guitars and a wispy airiness to the vocals. The songs have a darkness to them, an ethereal, hypnotic haze like the reflection of sound in a foggy canyon during the wee hours of the morning. You don't know where it's coming from, and it's frightening. But at the same time, it doesn't seem real so it's, in a way, OK. Part a hazy ambience, part glaring with vivid clarity, Faunts sound is certainly unique. Within Leave Here Alone [...]

As heard on Dream Over last weekend, here's a stunning cut from Faunts debut album 'High Expectations/Low Results'. The Alberta five piece recorded the album in the early noughties before re-releasing it on Friendly Fire Recordings in 2005. A dream pop lullaby without the post rock meltdown.

Usually I would never mention game soundtracks and there are plenty of reasons for that. But when I was talking with the VS staff earlier this week about the Silent Hill HD Collection , Silent Hill Downpour and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City games coming out this month, it became clear that it wouldn't be completely out of the ordinary to talk about them. After all, why not? So here are my top 5 favorite songs used in a video game or soundtrack for a game... just because. [...]
