Facs Share Desire Path Video
Chicago’s FACS are an absolute powerhouse; they’re name continues to rise in the indie press, and based off their singles from the forthcoming Wish Defense LP, that meteoric takeoff is much deserved. Upon pressing play, rumbling drums roll you right into a warped wall of distorted guitars, bending the atmosphere and creating this disorienting darkness. But, just as they seem settled into a hazy realm, they turn the song into a colder post-punk territory, punctuated by a few lyrical bursts (“It ties you up/it ties you”) before receding. I love the way they’re straddling two territories in the same realm, and this has me salivating to hear the entirety of the new LP. Wish Defense is out in February via Trouble In Mind Records.
