‘Transfigured’, the follow up to their debut ‘Feelings Agency’ and second single ‘100mph’, was
recorded at Loop Studios in Manchester then mixed and mastered by Superorganism's Tucan.
A thumping synth pop ballad that oozes with synthesiser & string melodies weaving together like a neon
tapestry, the song explores the mental processes following the dissolution of relationships. How one gains
perspective through the passing of time and constructions of narratives whereby your emotions are
transfigured.

FAM lyrics:

Je crois
J'en ai marre!
Je te jure, je crois qu’on n’existe pas
On peut chercher
(C’est chic, trop chic)

Wait up!
Wait a minute!
What you’re thinking of?
In a minute I’ll be gone!

Parfois,
Je crois,
Qu’on ne se trouvera pas!
Quelle merde, je crois
J’ai peur d’être en bas!

Wait up!
Wait a minute!
What you’re thinking of?
In a minute I’ll be gone!

(Watch me destroy the things that I want the most)

This one's about regaining trust in yourself, the good energy in your body when you feel the power to stand up for yourself, while also being in soft connection to yourself and others. I wrote it in a moment of recognition of my own strength that came out of vulnerability and showing care. it starts with this ongoing single note and beat evolving into the phrase "it is fresh, it is also known, nice to meet you" which encapsulates the moment of choosing to being alive & in love, in very very strange times.

Middle Part

Ain’t it funny how it worked out?
Well, my friends all had their doubts,
They said that’s the reason why we quit, not the reason why we fit,
Well did it seem to you, all I ever wanted to be used, you must be confused

But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream
But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream

Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me?

Da da da da, Mmmhmm
Da da da da, Mmmhmm

Should’ve known you were trouble way back when, 
I wish I had listened to them, listened to my friends
But I've always been the one to go for the guys who always tell the lies
Wonder if I’ll ever learn or if I’ll ever realise

But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream
But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream

Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me?

Da da da da, Mmmhmm
Da da da da, Mmmhmm

You say you get a lot of attention 
Is that the only reason you’re confessing, 
That you’re over and gone and clearly moving on,
But is there something else that you forgot to mention
I don't want to try and aim to be perfection,
Just for a minute of your time and your affection 
But it’s fine, you’re no longer mine...
I’ve been wondering if you ever think of me?

Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
