Review

Two years in the making, Three Fact Fader immediately introduces a mild mix of electronica and guitar not unlike co-producer Ken Thomas’s work with M83. Sadly, the electro fling proves to be temporary, and ‘International Dirge’ and ‘Helped By Science’ establish the core sound of the album, which is awash with harmonised vocals and lush guitars. On ‘Hang Your Head’, the band’s shoegaze impulses reach their summit. While the album could do with more of its impressive electronic strokes, it is a fine foray into a genre currently enjoying its fair share of revisionism. Mickey Ferry
