busy times here at faux pas hq. for an update, we turn now to digital correspondent and cell phone expert martin cooper. martin, are you there?

“Yes, thank you Gordon. As we hurtle forward like hard nuts further into the impossible abyss of the third millenium, my mind wanders. How is it that we got to this point? How was it I got to this point? Where am I and what am I doing here? Meanwhile, a phone rings, spreading its soothing tones across the vast aural landscape of the atmosphere in four dimensions. What is that sound? Is it a pigeon? Is it mommy calling? Or is it a ringtone by Faux Pas? It is all of these things, or one. It is CICADA. Whatever it is, it can be downloaded at toneshared.com, as an mp3 you can load on to your portable phone device. For free.

CICADA may or may not be a further sneak peek into the sound of the second Faux Pas album, which is rumored by hoodlums on the street to also contain “Changes”, “Coach” and other tracks starting with C.

Also Gordon, let me tell you - at toneshared.com, you’ll find ringtones from other bands that I like including Caribou, DJ Elefant Power, Jason Forrest, Leafcutter John, Lucas Abela (Justice Yeldham), Outputmessage, Tony Buck (The Necks) and Triosk. How Faux Pas got mixed up in this mess can only be answered by consulting the Oracle of Frobozz, deep in the heart of the seventeenth chamber of the Ninth Pit of Azuth’s Holy Fire. This has been Martin Cooper, reporting for all of mankind.”
