  • Faint Halos – I Don’t Want to Know


    Fifteen years ago, Paul Hashemi stepped away from his music career after losing his job and needing to focus on supporting his wife and two young children. For years, music was reduced to strumming at preschool Christmas parties.

    Then came the 2020 lockdown. With stability, time, and a makeshift home studio, he began writing and recording again as Faint Halos, shaping an ethereal, synth‑driven pop‑rock sound.

    Now, with the upcoming debut album I Can See a Million Lights, Paul shifts toward a more organic, live feel, emotional songs carried by lyrical guitar lines and subtle rhythmic detail. He handled all vocals, instruments, production, and mixing, with one exception close to his heart: his daughter’s airy harmony vocals on select tracks.

    He’s currently rehearsing with his band and preparing to bring these songs to the stage, feeling both reflective and driven. “I feel an urgency to share these songs. They carry messages people need to hear, now more than ever,” he says. 

    “I Don’t Want to Know” is the title of the new single, and I absolutely love the verses; they are vibrant and catchy, complemented by spot-on vocals. The song also features grungy guitars and a solid, dynamic rhythm section. It’s a very cool track! Give it a listen by clicking on the Spotify player below, and be sure to follow the band if you enjoy what you hear.
