LYRICS: 
Now you're gone, 
but your breath 
is everywhere I still want you to be. 
Chicago fires 
so full of death 
could never keep your spirit far from me. 
Falling off the glyphs, 
nothing corresponds to what you mean, 
and every word is set aside. 
Five degrees below, 
far too cold to walk into the sea, 
and no one sees the rising tide. 

Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 
Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 

Translate the code 
but not the words, 
keep patching up the holes with love and bliss. 
Old dream mine roads 
and coffin clothes, 
no love escapes this last necropolis. 
Let me come inside, 
keep me breathing through these former lives 
in places no one ever finds. 
Calling up the past, 
nothing left if all these memories 
are buried deep inside your mind. 

Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 
Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 

Egypt had it right, your long eyelashes glide, 
like irises, Osirises are guarding me tonight. 
Whispering these signs, numbers in my mind, 
so let it be, just come to me like jackals in the night.

For several years now, Faded Paper Figures has been one of the best kept secrets of indie-electronic music, delivering gorgeous melodies, complex harmonies, and pop-cultural brilliance to a small and devoted fanbase online. With the release of their third album, “The Matter,” the band’s sound has matured into something more powerful and intense.  Alternately sparse and epic, harmonic and grinding, pensive and playful, "The Matter” takes FPF beyond their electro-pop beginnings to create something even more sincere, epic, and profound.  There are moments in “The Matter” that echo the band’s previous albums “Dynamo” and “New Medium” (all the glorious synth-blips, glitched-out riffs, and heartbreaking harmonies are still there), but a new sound has clearly emerged, with breathtaking orchestral scores, thick, powerful guitars, and more energetic, concentrated synths. Like the previous two albums, the lyrics glide with effortless sophistication through references both ironic and obscure. But there are passages here more intense, immediate, and playful.  One moment “The Matter” conjures up images of traffic lights and factories, the next, soaring questions on the vast distances between galaxies--and always the intimate, vivid possibilities of love and pain.  Given how powerfully “The Matter” astonishes with its daring energies and thoughtful lyrics, this electro-pop secret is going to be hard to contain in the months ahead.
