Bio
.. Sometimes pegged as shoegaze, or "nu-gaze", and even "post-gaze”, the four-piece alt-indie outfit Tracing Figures fancy themselves the more melodic, ethereal version of 90’s alternative. Heavily influenced by the pop-tinged sounds of contemporary indie rock artists, the band is evocative of Blonde Redhead, M83, The Cure, and Autolux; with delicate vocals often layered upon soaring melodic guitars and a meticulous clockwork of real-time synths and drum loops. Founded in 2008 by guitarist Thad Baker, the band quickly found it’s way to its current line up of musically diverse characters: Bassist Dean Faustman (formerly of the JT LeRoy-endorsed act Thistle), vocalist/guitarist Laura Glascott (formerly of the indie folk-rock scenes of Boston & LA), and drummer Eric Bateman (of ____). Together they have crafted a cohesive repertoire of gorgeous and invigorating songs that have captured the attention and excitement of music lovers across the Bay Area. The release of their self-titled debut EP mixed by Aaron Tressell has been long anticipated—the band is thrilled to be able to bring it to the masses this November, celebrating their labor of love with numerous performances in the Bay Area. Tracing Figures has shared the stage with local acts such as Tomihira, Foxtail Somersault, The Love X Nowhere, Astral, and Trophy Fire. Favorite venues have included Café du Nord, Red Devil Lounge, and Makeout Room; a list soon to be topped by their upcoming record release show at the Rickshaw Stop. .. .. ..
