Michael Ramos was last seen on this pages with The Pennys, a new project with R.E. Seraphin<\/a>. The prolific yet elusive lo-fi pop whisperer from the Bay area recently toured Japan with a new Tony Jay lineup\u2014and brought along a brand new album made just for the trip. faithless<\/em>, recorded ahead of the tour and inspired by Japanese favorites like Les Rallizes D\u00e9nud\u00e9s and Shizuka, sold out on tape before they even made it home. Luckily, the album is now available digitally.<\/p>\n

faithless<\/em> is tailor-made for listeners who like their indie pop lo-fi, hissy, experimental, and heavy on the sighs and instrumentals. These eleven tracks (ten originals and a cover of The Gabys\u2019 Familiar Dreams<\/em>) feel like a transmission from a soft-focus parallel world\u2014one where heartbreak stems from how gorgeous everything looks and sounds. It\u2019s lullaby music for outsider romantics with their heads halfway in the clouds. Current favorite? Masato\u2019s Notebook<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That Michael Ramos\u2026 I don\u2019t know, man. His music always sounds like it\u2019s from a completely different lane than what I usually play, but somehow it always pulls me in and makes me wish I visited his corner of the map more often.<\/p>\n
