Faded Paper Figures (Heather Alden, R. John Williams and Kael Alden) are gearing up to release their fifth full-length studio album, Kairos, on July 17 (full track listing below) and today, the band is excited to debut the second single, “Count It Out,” from the collection. The song captures the lush alternative, cinematic electronic and unassuming pop style the band is known for. It delivers a feeling of ethereality created by combining vintage synths with hypnotizing vocals that demand your attention.

Kairos means: a propitious moment for decision or action, and the new album finds the band exploring uncharted territory as they widen their soundscape. “‘Kairos’ represents the moment or ‘the now,’ says John. “Things change and emerge with time. The last EP ‘Chronos’ was written during the height of our lives becoming chaos. Meanwhile, ‘Kairos’ is a special moment we’re seizing together.”
“This band has always been our release,” adds Kael. “It’s our escape. With this album, we have a new love for life and what we do together.”
