This is the fourth studio album from the band Faded Paper Figures. It is a solid album front to back. I will put it into the ever pleasing Sunshine Indie Pop genre. Lots of synth, endless hooks, generally a feel good album. There isn't a ton of variety from song to song so the rest of this review will be brief, but this album is definitely worthy of airplay :) RIYL: Two Door Cinema Club, Tokyo Police Club, Postal Service, Iron and Wine, Metric

Recommended Tracks: 3, 6, 7, 11
1. (4:36) Breathing - Synth pop all the way
2. (3:20) Wake Up Dead - Strummy guitars and xylophone!
3. (3:27) Not the End Of the World (Even as We Know It) - Shuffling drum beat, tongue twisting vocals
4. (4:52) Lost Stars - Lost of wobbly synth, and a mellow beat
5. (3:39) Fellaheen - Whispery vocals, down tempo
6. (4:27) On The Line - Very Postal Service-y
7. (4:33) Spare Me - Synthetic jumpy tones and more female vocals
8. (4:29) Who Will Save Us Now? - Mid tempo, simple
9. (2:19) Horizons Fall - High pitched female vocals with male harmonies.
10. (5:12) Real Lies - Up tempo lots of synth
11. (3:21) What You See - Up tempo, more rock vibe then the rest of the songs. Kind of psych-rock feel?
12. (4:22) Forked Paths - More ambiant, distant, dreamy feel.
