The Pale Figures - Biography Download a PDF Version of the biography
The Pale Figures are a rock band from Chicago. The band features the song writing of Chicago based musician - Aaron Lindstrom and New York based singer songwriter Cory Larson.
In 2006, Lindstrom who was living in Seattle, contacted his old friend and label mate Cory Larson to talk to him about an idea he had for a recording project. Lindstrom called Larson from Sun Studio in Memphis TN., to ask him if he would be interested in recording an album at the famed Sun Studios in Memphis…Larson agreed and the plans were set into motion.
Over a period of two years Larson and Lindstrom traded music through the mail. The songs that the two were writing had to meet a certain standard, they had to be simple and they needed to be written with the theme and spirit of Memphis in mind.
In 2006 Lindstrom moved to Chicago and formed the band The Pale Figures with drummer - Doug Woods. The songs were written and the plans were set, The Pale Figures contacted Sun Studio to book the studio time only to find out that the studio wasn’t recording albums at the time. Lindstrom called some friends in Memphis and they pointed him in the direction of Sam Phillips Recording Studio and engineer Roland Janes (formerly of the Jerry Lee Lewis Band). The Pale Figures contacted Janes, sent him some of the preproduction and Roland agreed to take the project. Studio dates were set, Larson flew to Chicago to rehearse the tunes for 2 days and the band met the next weekend in Memphis. The band recorded 11 songs over a three day period, the collection is called the Memphis Sessions.
In addition, The Pale Figures thought it would be interesting to contrast the Memphis sound with the Chicago sound. The long lived rivalry between Chicago’s Chess Records and Memphis’s Sun Studio inspired The Pale Figures to expand the project to include the recording of 7 songs in Chicago at Electrical Audio with Steve Albini. The same rules applied as with the Memphis sessions -the songs had to be written in line with the engineering skills and reputation of Albini.
The result of The Pale Figure’s efforts is a double CD containing 19 songs plus 5 b- sides and bonus tracks called Memphis Sessions and Chicago Sessions. The album was released on the Lindstrom brother’s record label – Peacefist Records.

Cory Larson – Guitars and Vocals
