FADED are an indie-dance-Balearic collective operating on either side of the Scottish–English border. Formed in 2020, the band quickly established a reputation for genre-defying music that blends groove, melody and atmosphere, drawing as much from left-field pop and dance culture as from classic songwriting traditions.
Their third album, Who We Are, released in 2025 on the hip Hottwerk label, marked a creative high point and brought wider recognition. The record earned airplay across BBC 6 Music, BBC Scotland, BBC Introducing, RTÉ, Amazing Radio UK/USA and further afield, cementing FADED’s position as a quietly distinctive voice within the contemporary indie landscape.
In February 2026, FADED release a four-track EP of new songs deemed too dark for the next album. They explore a darker, more melancholic territory. From the disjointed reality of Out Of Season to the closing Leonard Cohen leanings on Caught In The Rain.
The band’s fourth album arrives in June 2026 and presents a striking contrast: Balearic-leaning, warm and optimistic, infused with Electronic sunshine positivity and rhythmic ease. Early listeners have described what they heard so far as a joyful, immersive listen that captures FADED at their most confident and expansive.
FADED are:
Dave Beattie - vocals
David Bass – guitars, harmonies
Fergus Henderson – drums, percussion
Ken McCormack – guitar, production
