Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Faust's core duo of bassist Jean-Hervé Péron and drummer Zappi Diermaier are joined here by Geraldine Swayne and Gallon Drunk frontman James Johnstone, both wrestling sounds from a variety of stringed and keyed devices.
"Tell the Bitch to Go Home" is a fine opener, its descending distorted organ riff powered by Zappi's minimal clangour, while synth noises eat into the track like rust. By contrast, "Herbststimmung" offers a glimpse of Faust's more melodic side, the poignant cyclical shimmer of some stringed device being gradually refracted into ragged tatters. There's plenty of typically brutalist avant-rock riffing in tracks like "Dampfauslass 1 & 2", while Swayne's occasional vocal adds an unexpected sultry touch to some tracks. It's their most cohesive album in some time.
