Fault Lines is the latest EP from San Francisco indie rock group Tracing Figures. The band of Thad Baker, Eric Bateman, Brianne Sherman and Dean Faustman have released three tracks of lush, intimate music. Led by Sherman's exceptional vocals, the tracks showcase a band that is tight, melodic and radio ready. The EP is good in every way that a record can be. It draws one into its spell and then rewards with superlative ear candy. We are really wanting to hear a full album from this band. - Floorshime Zipper Boots Music Reviews

Bio
Since 2008, Tracing Figures has rocked the San Francisco music scene with their fierce musical chops and high production values, tempered by soulful female vocals, guitar and synth wall-of-sound textures, and a rhythm section that grooves like clockwork.
Tracing Figures has always performed with a consistent draw at venues such as The Independent, The Rickshaw Stop, Bottom of the Hill, Café du Nord, Red Devil Lounge, Brick and Mortar, and El Rio. They have shared the stage with The Dandelion War, Via Coma, In Letter Form, The Family Flaw, Tomihira, Foxtail Somersault, The Love X Nowhere, Astral, Foreign Cinema, Your Cannons, …and more.
Tracing Figures’ music is a mix of synth-pop, new wave, and shoegaze, but the band fancies themselves a 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. Founded in 2008 by guitarist Thad Baker (Anaura), the band's current lineup includes drummer Eric Bateman (Easy Street), guitarist James Spadaro (Foxtail Somersault), and vocalist Brianne Sherman.
