The Original Faces

A mysterious side-project prominently featuring Liz Harris (Grouper) alongside Jed Bindeman and Scott Simmons. The band takes Harris' signature hazy, reverb-drenched vocal stylings and attaches them to driving, fuzz-heavy garage-pop and shoegaze rhythms. Initially formed with the intention of being a thrash metal band, it quickly evolved into a beautiful, blown-out love letter to 1980s noise pop.
