Featuring atmospheric pedal steel and 12-string acoustics, the album blends brooding ’80s new wave with dreamy vocal harmonies—a combination Faler describes as “Echo and the Bunnymen meets the Everly Brothers.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eRaised in Metro Detroit with two older brothers who spoon-fed him bands like the Church, Love and Rockets, and the Cocteau Twins, Faler moved to L.A. on his twenty-first birthday and never left. He has played and recorded with numerous groups around town, including Nic Hessler (Captured Tracks), Devon Williams (Slumberland Records), and Bart Davenport (Bart and the Bedazzled). He started Dream Boys with Will Ivy (Flat Worms), Wallace Meek (Neverever), and Mike La Franchi (Traps PS). The band gained local attention for its jangly, C86-style guitar riffs and three-part harmonies, and went on to release two albums and open for bands like Real Estate and Allah-Las. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eFaler’s debut solo album, released in 2023 on Athena Records, was written and recorded alone in a garage with drum machines, acoustic guitars, and vintage synthesizers, and mixed by his brother William at his studio in L.A. For \u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e, his first release on Curation Records, Faler combines the melancholy textures of new wave with Americana and dream pop. The album, which features a handful of songs written soon after moving to California as well as more recent tracks, was recorded with the help of friends and former bandmates. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eFor fans of Creation Records, 4AD\/Beggars Banquet, Domino Records, and Curation Records. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e“Los Angeles–based artist Wayne Faler engrosses with a dreamy, jangly sound. ...
