Fictionist
Fictionist is a band from Salt Lake City, and are made up by Stuart Maxfield (lead vocals, guitar), Robbie Connolly (backing vocals, guitar), Jacob Jones (keys), Brandon Kitterman (backing vocals, guitar, toys), Spencer Harrison (backing vocals, bass) and Aaron Anderson (drums).
Fictionist was originally called Maxfield, after band leader/creator Stuart Maxfield. But changed the name to Good Morning Maxfield when they found another band with the same name.
The name Fictionist was born in the autumn of 2008, as the band changed their style to what Fictionist is today – a sparkling sound of epicness!
The debut album “Invisible Hand” was released in early 2009, followed by “Lasting Echo” in January of 2010.
This music is just wonderful! It has a laid back rock style you rarely hear in these days. And it give you a very good feeling of peace.
They mix soft psychedelic, piano rock, art pop, and powerful, and a mixed pop historic interaction of 70′s pop/rock and that kind of rock you most likely will hear in about 5 years.
Still, there is just something about this music; it’s moody, emotional – without being sensitive, and, it’s somehow still a mystery.

I’m with you. Their sound is deeply layered. I saw Fictionist in Austin and was amazed. It’s cool to see a band who performs better live than on the CD. Fictionist is a must see. Lasting Echo is an epic album.
