yo I just found this thread..... thanks @tupacarti for making it. I've been obsessed with fg and affiliated artists for like a few months now, but it's been difficult to find anyone to discuss them with lol. do you (or anyone) know anything about the artists involved? I can hardly find any information on bleachblonde in particular. I'd also be interested if anybody has any insight into their music-making process—I'm really confounded by a lot of their songs, which just have a very unique sound.

can relate, nobody talks abt focus group as they should...

i really have no clue on their whereabouts, they're pretty mysterious guys. i know aidan is in college and is majoring in computer science or something that involves coding (based on his tweets), and i think he resides in Chicago. W3bcam is from Canada, and bleachblonde...well, like you insinuated--is a ghost.

they all collab with this producer called o0o (formerly known as j7ly) consistently (him and aidan just dropped a song together, and bleachblondes last song was produced by him)

other than that, i got nothing you probably don't already know.

thanks for the info, man, that's actually really interesting to hear! it kind of makes sense that Aidan would be studying computer science based on the music, I feel like one thing that sets fg apart is a really creative use of computer technology to make those insane textures. anyway, I really hope they all link up again soon. I've seen that w3bcam was recently reposting fg stuff and commented on clear eyes by Aidan. the world needs new fg now more than ever!

yea, w3b is sober now (one of the reasons for lack of output was him being on d****) and working on an album called WIMP

idk if you know but Aidan dropped an EP over the summer on a burner acc: https://soundcloud.com/user-893370652/self-titled

and these r his recent drops:

but yea man it's been 2 years since a collective song from them...it's dry out here ;/

not that important but the GTAF account is o0o's alt, so the Bffs song is aidan as a feature and o0o on production probably. n yea, this is much needed, way better than what i had

I'll work on that if nobody's made one already. in the meantime, this playlist on soundcloud is pretty comprehensive: https://soundcloud.com/faustness/sets/f02uss
