Description

2020, 2×12″ LP, Athens of the North.

Given their shared musical heritage – both are members of the extended Firecracker Recordings crew – it’s perhaps something of a surprise to find that Face The Facts marks the first serious collaboration between Linkwood and Gav ‘Fudge Fingaz’ Sutherland AKA Other Lands. It’s less surprising that the album is really, really good. Touching on warming synth-boogie, head-nodding downtempo jams, mutant beatdown, Balearic beats, sunset-ready soundscapes and warming analogue deep house, the 13-track set is notable for the pair’s extensive use of dusty old drum machines, tactile instrumentation (think smooth Rhodes solos, languid guitar solos and blissed-out synths) and Sutherland’s hazy, sometimes seductive singing voice. – Juno
