We premiere the eclectic trio, Faded Paper Figures newest track ‘On The Line’, exclusively on Wonderland\"Faded<\/a><\/p>\n

Bands typically break up after college. People move away, grow apart, or just shrivel up and get jobs. \u00a0It was good while it lasted, right? \u00a0But what happens when the music is so good, the band\u2019s listeners so devout, the ambition to keep creating so strong that even the time-draining power of day jobs can\u2019t get in the way?<\/p>\n

Such is the story of\u00a0Faded Paper Figures, whose \u201cday jobs\u201d are not exactly easy gigs: Heather Alden is in residency after graduating from\u00a0medical school\u00a0(a\u00a0real\u00a0doctor), R. John Williams is a\u00a0full-time professor\u00a0of English at Yale (just published\u00a0his first book), and Kael Alden writes music for a production company in Los Angeles called\u00a0Robot Repair\u00a0(his music appearing in several Hollywood films, TV shows, video games and ads).<\/p>\n

Having married then moved to CA in 2005, Kael and Heather met John, who one afternoon in the fall of 2007, looking for a distraction from writing his dissertation, suggested to Kael and Heather that they write some music together. Within three weeks they had written a few songs, and put them up online. It’s a clich\u00e9 but the rest is history.<\/p>\n

By 2013, their music was\u00a0circulating everywhere appearing\u00a0on everything from ABC\u2019s \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d to MTV\u2019s \u201cThe Real World,\u201d NBCSports, and E! and if anything the music now comes with even greater clarity and brilliance. Set to release their fourth studio album ‘Relics’ this August, which promises\u00a0to be their most honest, sophisticated, and ambitious offering yet, today we premiere ‘On The Line’ on Wonderland…<\/p>\n
