Fol Chen is an American electronic band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2009. The group maintained a high level of secrecy, working under aliases and disguising their faces during performances, including on the radio program Morning Becomes Eclectic and at the 2009 South by Southwest festival. Their debut album, Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made, was released in 2009, featuring the song "No Wedding Cake". In 2010, the band released Part II: The New December, and Sinosa Loa joined the group as keyboardist and vocalist. The group completed tours throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe alongside bands such as Liars, !!!, and The Apples in Stereo. Their third album, The False Alarms, was released on March 19, 2013, on the Asthmatic Kitty Records label, featuring Loa performing all ten tracks. In late 2011, they collaborated with the company Monome to create the Tetrafol, a motion-sensitive sound device, and released two singles using the device.
