Over the past few weeks we have been gradually seduced by the delights of Faces On Film’s new album Elite Lines. The nom de guerre of Boston’s Mike Fiore, it is indie rock that is a million miles away from the formulaic paint-by-numbers approach that seems so prevalent currently. Instead we get a winning blend of whip-smart songwriting that combines infectious rhythms, soul-searching introspection and bare bones intimacy.

Check out the first two singles, The Rule and Heartspeed, and also our favourite track on the record, the catchy tribal pound of Percy.
