Faria is a London-based band that formed around lead vocalist Sarah Gillespie, guitarist Tom Havelock, bassist Chris Haddon, and drummer Jamie Thomas. Their debut album 'Divã' came out in 2016, featuring the title track that became their most recognizable song. They followed it with 'The Longing' in 2019 and 'Whispers of the Unseen' in 2022, the latter recorded with producer Brian Eno.
Their sound tends toward the atmospheric, with Gillespie's voice often described as haunting over textured arrangements. Beyond 'Divã,' other tracks like 'Senta e Chora' and 'Tua Falta Mata' show their range within that moody, melodic space. They've maintained a fairly low public profile, which has sometimes been noted alongside their music's introspective quality.
The music itself seems to be the point, quiet, layered songs that don't try to fit neatly into any particular scene.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
