If you love music of any kind and enjoy lyrics with meaning, then you'll enjoy this CD. Whether you are skiing, dancing, partying, running, sleeping, reading or just in the mood for good music, you will LOVE this CD. I know I did. Possbily the best songs on it are "Astronaut" and "Psycho". I think they have the best lyrics and meaning. If you are into music merely for the sound, I'd go for Homecoming and In My Car" Either way, you'll love all of the songs.

This CD is so amazing.. I got it a week ago and haven't been able to stop listening to it. I take it everywhere. It was so worth the 12 bucks! Three cheers for FNF!!

Conversations With Eyes Closed is the first album from Fact Not Fiction; a relatively new indie-rock band from Hartwell, GA. Formed in January of 2006, Fact Not Fiction is a band whose music encompasses both actuality and invention. Most of the songs were written from true-life experiences focusing on heartache, harsh real-world realities and recollections of breezy summer days. Recorded in a '60s-era trailer over the course of six months, the album allows its lo-fi sound to permeate all corners. The sound emitting from Conversations With Eyes Closed is completely laid-back, subtle and haunting with a few trance-like synth numbers thrown into the mix. Immediately, comparisons to Pavement and Death Cab for Cutie spring to mind. Lead singer Zeke Sayer has the ability to weave a story into a song, and not once does it come off as anything less than genuine and emotive. One of best tracks on the album, "In My Car" builds with a slow, simmering intensity that yields to its own dissolution right before the end. Another treat is the acoustic track "Psycho," a sweet-sounding lullaby with a hidden agenda. Conversations With Eyes Closed is one of those albums that can easily play in the stereo; with 11 solid tracks of feel-good and feel-bad melodies, there's no need to fast forward.

Can't say that I know much about this band. They didn't send me a press-release with this CD, but I must say that I like what I am hearing. This is a cool and laid-back indie-rock that is grounded and totally down to earth. Perhaps even too down to earth sometimes, as you sometimes keep waiting for the guys to push the pedel to the floor and rock out with maximum energy, which is somethng that never happens. But that is my only complaint, as this CD delivers in every other way. My favorite song is "The Astronaut", which has got a massive chorus and sounds like a secular Deliriou5. All in all, a good effort from Fact Not Fiction.
