FORMER FACES – “BACK UP A MINUTE”
Independent
LA indie rock band Former Faces have shared a new single entitled βBack Up a Minute,β an atmospheric, melancholy tale of loss and moving on.
βI wrote βBack Up a Minuteβ a few weeks ago shortly after the death of my grandfather,β explains vocalist Ryan Parmenter. βThe verses are a final conversation I wish we’d had, and the choruses are a reminder that loss is a universal experience. At some point, we all long to move on.”
Former Faces is a study in dreams and memories crossing paths from the brain trust of tenured LA musician Ryan Parmenter. The Silverlake-based project creates fluid cerebral sounds reminiscent of Tame Impala, The War On Drugs, Jim James, and Deerhunter, to name a few. After putting the finishing touches on his self-written and self-produced work, Parmenter enlisted the help of David Lee (guitar), Brian Blake (bass), and Abraham Kim (drums) to shape his live act, which aims to bring a complete audiovisual performance to the stage. Organically exploring the relationship between reality and the subconscious, the result is a collection of sonic dreamscapes that shrink and blur the line between the two. From airy indie-style tracks to songs born from more psychedelic roots, the Former Faces sound takes inspiration from a wide range of genres that have informed Parmenterβs years of songwriting experience.
