Edmonton, Canada (2000 – present)
Embracing a moody, introspective pop sound that’s smart, tuneful, forceful, and sweetly melancholy all at once, Faunts were formed in 2000 by Tim Batke and his brother Steven Batke, who hail from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. With Tim handling guitar, keyboards, and vocals while Steven contributed vocals and guitar, Faunts became a trio with the addition of percussionist Paul Arnusch. After Joel Hitchcock signed on as the group’s keyboard player and Scott Gallant became their bassist, Faunts set out to make a name for themselves on Northern Canada’s music scene, and steady club work led to concert dates opening for Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think, and Stars. After two well-received tours of Canada, Faunts struck a deal with the independent Friendly Fire label, and the group released their debut album, High Expectations/Low Results, in the fall of 2005. A five-song EP, M4, appeared in late 2007, released only via digital download services; the EP featured music created to accompany a series of short films presented as part of a multimedia project. One of the songs, M4 Part 2, was featured in the popular video game Mass Effect. By this time, Hitchcock had left the group and another member of the Batke family, Rob Batke, had joined the lineup on keyboards and laptop manipulations.

All of their albums are good but the song "Will You Tell Me Then" is just mindblowing and one step over all others they've made. One of the most epic tracks ever recorded on planet Earth. Supreme.

Pitchfork Review 7.2/10
There are many dubious reasons for a band to release a remix album, whether it’s to kill a contract or kill time. But when Edmonton quintet Faunts released theirs (the imaginatively titled Faunts Remixed) late last year…
