Second Album:
M4 (EP)
Album Description:
| Quote: |
![]() Originally written for a live performance hosted by the Film And Video Arts Society, M4 (which includes the song "M4 Part II," as featured in the video game "Mass Effect") is composed of scores originally created to accompany three independent short films. Harnessing the use of electronics and synthesizers, Faunts have gathered material that is more ambient and atmospheric than their previous work, but still demonstrates their love for layered melodies and sparkling electronics. Released January 7, 2008. |

Just letting you know that we are in the final stages of mixing our new record. It is planned to come out Feb 2009. |
LATEST FROM FAUNTS.COM:
| Quote: |
![]() Faunts� latest articulation, the full-length Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. (out February 17th, 2009 on Friendly Fire Recordings) is the culmination of a year of touring, recording, and meticulous exploration of this transcendent imagination. With its effervescent guitars, mathematic loops and synthesizers, surging drums, and seemingly nomadic bass lines, Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. is a fluid expression of Faunts� painstaking attention to instrumentation and arrangement which allows the buoyantly defiant mood of the record to transverse any one song in particular. This is a band of perfectionists � every movement agonized over, every melody deconstructed and explored � whose labors have resulted in an expansive, layered, textured, and sublime collaboration.Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. perfectly encompasses the band�s ambitious, imaginative devotion to sculpting not only a musical moment, but an entire atmosphere which accompanies that moment. |
