Songwriting duo Far Places got their start making music from opposite sides of the US. Originally college friends, the pair found their following online with their infectious hooks, nostalgic synth soundscapes, and poignant, up-close lyricism.

While collaborating from Washington, DC and Los Angeles, the band gained millions of streams and appeared widely on viral charts worldwide with singles like “In My Head.”

Vocalist Fallon Bridgeland delivers charged and distinctive melodies, drawing comparisons to contemporaries Chelsea Cutler and Sigrid. Partnered with producer Evan Chambers, the result is a lush and emotive pop sound, while nodding to the retro stylings of M83 and MGMT. The duo’s songwriting and close-knit production workflow has allowed them to craft their own brand of emotional impact.

Far Places released their hypnotizing debut EP “Out of Touch” in 2018. Their forthcoming project, “memorabilia”, was written and recorded in Los Angeles, and will be their first project crafted together in one city. With an international fanbase, the band continues to make music that transcends distance. Far Places have also been supported by major Spotify editorial playlists such as Indie Pop Chillout as well as Viral 50 playlists in 8 major territories. 

Homecoming is a feast synth hooks and swelling pads, with the vocals being reminiscent of Sigrid in its performance. With 80’s style percussion and tom-led fills that bring in roaring choruses, the track’s emotive pop sound can be heard in ‘For Worse’ and ‘Sway’, the bands first two releases of 2020. The Memorabilia is the first EP project the band has written and recorded in the same place, with both Fallon and Evan being in Los Angeles.

Discussing the release, Far Places said:

“Homecoming is about the past and present colliding. It’s about going back to that town and seeing that person again. You become who you used to be for a while, taking refuge from current life with someone from the past. This record is about collecting the moments and relationships we carry around with us, our memorabilia. Each track has pieces of people and places we can’t forget. These impressionistic songs latch on to glimpses and instants, but the feelings of each moment come through powerfully. The familiarity of old love is intoxicating and comfortable, but there is a melancholy to this song. Despite that pull, we know that certain people are best left in the past. Nonetheless, we find ourselves lost in the feeling, feelings we should have left back with 22.’”

Evan and Fallon have a relationship unlike any other they’ve experienced. As creative partners, they avoid the romantic cliches you may expect. They don’t fit each other into typical roles. Bridgeland noted, “The nature of what we do requires a depth of support that exists beyond any one relationship.” They aren’t a typical romantic duo, and their unique relationship gives them a working edge. “We have this ability to be extremely intimate in the creative process, while not being constrained by writing about our own relationship. We have separate lives and stories and it’s that separation that allows for richness, nuance, and depth of experience when we create.”
