FAUX PRIX Shares “Chasing Sunsets” Single via Paltrocast

Squeezing every last emotion out of a thrift store Casiotone drone, new Los Angeles indie rock outfit FAUX PRIX unload their latest offering “Chasing Sunsets” on anyone who’s been feeling like “they are not done yet!” Evoking dysfunctional nostalgia reminiscent of mid 2000s indie rock, New Zealand born singer, Bradley Hanan Carter (NO, 5 Billion in Diamonds) says “Chasing Sunsets” is a collective reflection on how to not walk away from everything you believe can still happen, no matter how hard it gets! FAUX PRIX and their Casio-tinged brand of indie rock have been described as Silver Jews meet The National, or our current favorite: Billy Idol colliding with synth wave darlings Drab Majesty in a dark alley at 2am? Bring it all, we’ll take it..!!

Bradley on the track, “Chasing Sunsets’” will examine your October while covering you like a warm blanket through this very strange November and beyond. I wrote the lyrics for ‘Chasing Sunsets’ while on a USA tour with my band NO, staring out various windows of both an amtrak train and a tour van. It was a picturesque October just before the 2012 election when Romney and Obama were at it.. and I was in a reflective headspace after ending a 30 year relationship with evangelical Christianity.

Despite not being an American citizen yet, I felt a strange connection to this presidential race, as one of my best friends had created a hair product called ‘Fatboy’ that Mitt Romney was actually using! I would see him everywhere we traveled on all the televisions and newspapers.. and I found that weirdly impressive!

“Have you ever watched the Governor slick his hair?”

Chasing Sunsets ended up being a love letter of sorts to my new life in the USA, to an imaginary woman I hadn’t met yet, and to myself.. to keep going!

Ending with a slight nod to my homeland of New Zealand it still feels as special to me now as it did back then, it has sat on my hard drive forever.. but I am so glad it’s finally out.”
