Call it "melodic cool" if you wish.
In the past, the group received national radio airplay, award nominations, and positive reviews in the press, but never broke out of the Toronto indie scene due to being such a unique and unusual blend of music in a time when musical tastes were pretty black and white. Thankfully, with the advent of the internet, the group today is slowly getting their name out. With such a wide audience, and the concept of spreading popularity by word-of-mouth, it's no wonder that Figures at Dawn are starting to get the attention they deserve.
One could hearken the music to the melodic harmonies of Enya, the haunting vocals of Nightwish, or perhaps mellowed out version of popular pop icons like Selena Gomez, or Ke$ha. The male group equivalent to Figures at Dawn would most certainly be likened to The Postal Service, and Death Cab for Cutie, with a definitive electronic spin added. If you like any of these groups, Figures at Dawn is certainly a group to check out.
If you have any spark of interest whatsoever, checking out the website is a fantastic introduction into the group. At the website, you can actually listen to a few songs, taking in the beautiful visuals as you become absorbed in the haunting beat and melodic flow that the music carries you away on.
Also on the website is a section where you can actually see some of the videos from the group, which is truly an experience all on its own. Filled with beautiful imagery, flashing lights, and overall fascinating visuals, the videos are all fantastic in their own right. Videos like this deserve to be appreciated as a form of art, because that's really what it is, along with the music. Fantastic art.
An eclectic group made of some of Canada's great musical talent, Suzanne Palmer steals the show with her amazing vocals, while songwriters and musicians Aaron Allan, Ray Walsh, and Paul Caspar work together in amazing unison to create truly unique musical experience that one simply has to hear.
Like any group, Figures at Dawn is not everyone's cup of tea, but the group really is a breath of fresh air in a sometimes over saturated musical world, and it's always nice to find new and exciting music in a sea of mediocrity. Check out the website, you won't regret finding this little gem of a band.
