Sound Stage: Faded Paper Figures

California indie pop electronica at its very best.

Today's Sound Stage is occupied by Los Angeles-based Faded Paper Figures.

The interweaving of lighthearted electronic sound into their music helps set this alternative rock band apart. Ethereal melodies are enhanced with vocals that can build and crescendo with a strength that may catch you off guard. They are at their best when vocalists R. John Williams and Heather Alden interchange between verses only to fall into perfect harmonies.
