From the album ‘Beneath The Brine’ (2014) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/fam-crest

So you lost your head inside your heart
And the weighty world it tore you apart
And you've all but given up
On the stone you call a heart, you're singing out
Sing it out

Oh, the love you've placed inside my hands
Oh, the fervor that your heart demands
Well we went off with a spark
But you were left out in the dark, singing out
Oh, sing it out

Oh, love you wanna step outside
Find a place to run and hide
It isn't that it's tough
It's just that I don't love you enough

So take your shaking bones
And step out on your own
The winter never stops

Oh, love you wanna step outside
Find a place to run and hide
It isn't that it's tough
Oh, baby love it's just that I don't love you enough
So take your shaking bones and go

And there's nothing left inside my heart
No there's nothing left for you
Oh, there's nothing left inside my broken heart

You say yes and I say no
Love don't stop, oh love don't go
Love don't go

The brainchild of frontman Liam McCormick, The Family Crest began as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder/bassist John Seeterlin. “We always liked making music with people—getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a seven-piece core band emerged, though the Crest boasts over 400 “Extended Family” members.

Bodies

do you see yourself in another place
basically anywhere but here
where you've been suffering for years

don't be afraid, it'll be okay
nobody's really quite figured it out
but the sun will always come back around

hey, i'm as scared as you are
of tomorrow and what it brings
sink its teeth into my skin
it wants me to bleed but i won't let it win

i have made it too far to give in

i've heard of happiness, i'm looking for a taste
of basically anything but fear
anxiety grabs the wheel to steer the wheel of my brain

things could get ugly
voices of doubt, just ignore the sound
you're stronger than you think

hey, i'm as scared as you are
of tomorrow and what it brings
sink its teeth into my skin
it wants me to bleed but i won't let it win

i have made it too far to give in

i won't let it win
hey, i'm as scared as you

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.
