Strange Faces formed in January 2008 in Raleigh, NC when founding member Ryan Barnum (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards) was joined Art Pierce (drums) and Mark Connor (bass, vocals), two of his former band mates from New York. Since then the trio has been quickly gaining recognition and notoriety for their accessible, yet inventive, music and highly energetic shows.
The band shares a love for vintage instruments and classic recordings, and strives to keep keep their sound organic and true to their beliefs. Their self-titled, debut album was recorded at Echo Mountain in Asheville, NC by Los Angeles producer Eric Sarafin (Ben Harper). The entire album was recorded to 2” analog tape without the use of computers and digital editing in order to capture the authentic performance.
The name, Strange Faces, reflects the band’s belief that when the world is viewed through a new perspective, good things are found in unexpected places. This attitude has resonated with their ever-growing fan base who send the band pictures of faces they find in everyday inanimate objects. Once you know where to look, you’ll see strange faces all around you. And once you hear Strange Faces, you’ll know what you’ve been missing.
