Busy Work
The Faux Paz' newest album, Busy Work, was released at our Spring Big Show on April 24, 2009. This album was recorded at multiple locations in the spring and fall of 2008, including the studios of award-winning a cappella producer James Gammon in Charlottesville, Va., and the homes of Faux Paz alumni Dave Gradin and James Leathers. It features much of the group's repertoire from 2007-2009, including "When I Get You Alone", "My Sin", and "Soulmate", the set we performed at ICCAs in 2008.
