THE FASCINATING CHIMERA PROJECT
aka FCPis a band from New York
In 2019, the group released their debut The Fascinating Chimera Project, which combined dream pop and ambient original songs, plus their take on an Irish trad tune recorded on penny whistle in the middle of the woods in Forest Park, Queens.
After a decade of playing in various groups around the city, the trio relocated to the Catskills. This shift toward a quieter life while reckoning with the world’s chaos and suffering shaped their 2025 LP Songs for the Moon.
Musician Liam Singer described Songs for the Moon as “unhurried, dreamy piano folk-pop meets Bossa Nova, Laurel Canyon, Enya, and a hint of whimsical Penguin Cafe Orchestra-esque experimentalism, all build around Alex Daud’s unaffected vocals.” (Thanks Liam)
