Favorite Shape Triangle is the music project of Aaron Ruffcorn. FST was founded in 1999, in Iowa City, IA. FST recorded many demo albums (2000, 2001, 2003) before releasing the debut self-titled album "Favorite Shape Triangle" in 2007. FST's 2nd LP "Against Time" was released in December of 2009. All of FST's songs are written, arranged, recorded and produced by Aaron Ruffcorn. Guest artists have made occasional appearances: Darren Robinson, of Phantom Planet, played all guitars on FST's 2007 debut, and Caroline Lyders, of WJLA-ABC 7, provided backup vocals on "Change" and spoken word on "Smackers," two songs also featured on FST's debut.

The album "Against Time" by Favorite Shape Triangle is a fun, Indie journey into the music of singer, songwriter, and producer, Aaron Ruffcorn. The title track, "Against Time" solidly sets the tone for the album with groovy 80's Pop beats and synthesizers. "Thief" keeps the listener enticed with its synthetic vocals and catchy tune while the lyrically dense "Say Hello!!" shows off the artist's vocal intricacy. Moving toward the end of the album, the songs move from dance, to a slower more melodic tune giving a wide variety to the listener and showing the artist's versatility. As the new wave of electro-influenced pop gains ground, this album is sure to please. Phantom Planet and MGMT fans will really appreciate this album.

Happy to report that FST will be playing live shows very soon!! We've been rehearsing a bit, and it's all starting to come together. Looking to the future, final production will commence this May, on FST's third full-length album, tentatively titled "Mission Papers." I'll be shooting for an early 2011 release. The demos are done, now I just need to rework them to death. Aaron
