Face Time Police is a group that openly defies categorization. When you have influences that run the spectral gamut several times over from Jewel, to Kanye West, to Nine Inch Nails, that's a given. For argument's sake, they've coined the term "pop macchiato" to describe themselves (pop "marked" or "stained" with one or more unconventional elements). FTP has managed to avoid from sounding like a disassociated unlistenable train wreck by writing memorable, catchy pop songs at heart while allowing their influences to blend in just enough to keep things interesting. With this enticing brew, they are able to jump genres drastically as a successfully forged hybrid of both unconventional music for the conventional crowd and conventional music for the unconventional crowd. |
