M'as-tu Trouvé?

Faith In Strangers’ was written and produced between January 2013 and June 2014, and was edited and sequenced in late July this year. Making use of on an array of instruments, field recordings, found sounds and vocal treatments, it’s a largely analogue variant of hi-tech production styles arcing from the dissonant to the sublime. The first two tracks recorded during these early sessions bookend the release, the opener ‘Time Away’ featuring Euphonium played by Kim Holly Thorpe and last track ‘Missing’ a contribution by Stott’s occasional vocal collaborator Alison Skidmore who also appeared on 2012’s ‘Luxury Problems’. Between these two points ‘Faith In Strangers’ heads off from the sparse and infected ‘Violence’ to the broken, downcast pop of ‘On Oath’ and the motorik, driving melancholy of ‘Science & Industry’ - three vocal tracks built around that angular production style that imbues proceedings with both a pioneering spirit and a resonating sense of familiarity. Things take a sharp turn with ‘No Surrender’- a sparkling analogue jam making way for a tough, smudged rhythmic assault, while ‘How It Was’ refracts sweaty Warehouse signatures and ‘Damage’ finds the sweet spot between RZA’s classic ‘Ghost Dog’ and Terror Danjah at his most brutal. ‘Faith in Strangers’ is next and offers perhaps the most beautiful and open track here, its vocal hook and chiming melody bound to the rest of the album via the almost inaudible hum of Stott’s mixing desk. It provides a haze of warmth and nostalgia that ties the nine loose joints that make up the LP into the most memorable and oddly cohesive of Stott’s career to date, built and rendered in the spirit of those rare albums that straddle innovation and tradition through darkness and light.

lyrics

i feel a totally different way im for real you can trust in what i say
ill be here never to go away i fear i am always in your way
let me know let me know
ill be gone ill be gone
but not for too long of course im always around
never too far from you im your ground
life is changing its changing fast
who would have thought that i could make it down this path
i dont know and i dont care
you pop a bean and you falling asleep i roll a blunt then im up for a week
watch how you talk when you talkin to me 
sesh get it poppin so properly see
i press the juice while you pour up the lean
i pick my poison appropriately you about to turn to a corpse like me
you can try but can approach it like me

LYRICS

(deadwinter)
Barely can think any more
And I`m blanking
Can`t even speak these words
And you see it
Crumbling patterns of this life
All this shit is getting to my head 
Getting to my head

(FF and deadwinter)
I’m so exhausted
It’s getting to my head

(chrysalis)

watch me get it all fuckedup again
going nowhere going nowhere
youre the only light i can think off
set fire to my wings while im floating above

stop turning it down
i’m so exhausted 
silence speaks louder
everything has been said

- chorus - (choir)
im so exhausted
its getting to my head

x4


(FF)
Barely can think anymore
I need more
I need more of that lifestyle of yours
I cannot ignore 
how my head feels sore
Let’s see what we can do to help
Take out the belt
Crying hiding in your bed
Hands crossed on top of your head
Protect your neck
Protect your neck, boy
Oh boy
It’s getting to my head

UNCERTAIN (EP)

Couldn't get it out my head so I had to shoot it out
Come up bitch just like you said ain't no problem rule ‘em out
Man you fuckin’ with some ghosts ain't no bullets hittin’ us
We got bud we got mud now you know why we got lust

(FF)
Now you know how we got lost
Spending hunnids on that gas
Now you know how we got lost
Look right through me like I glass

(deadwinter)
Stray from the path
That`s what I say now,
No fucking turning back
It`s like this life has lead me to see
What it's all about
But no one ever told me
I'm about to blackout
Slipping from it all
Please someone bring me fucking back

LUST/LOST - wærry, franky fade, deadwinter

[gk]
judge me for the way I dress
boy im gonna make a mess
i was never like the rest
all my demons trynna test

judge for my bank account
looking for a big amount
ill die in a big castle
ill die in a big castle

yeah i got a few problems
yeah i got a few problems
get my money up
while errbody turning up

the angels are calling for me
girl you drive me crazy
everything used to be so easy
everything used to be so lovely

[deadwinter]
what is the matter with me?
why can’t i see? 
gone today, back tomorrow
want to forget all my sorrows

[waerry]
fuck your shit up
show me what you're made of
you can fuck up out my face if you ain't 
talkin' 'bout the payment

pavement leaning hold up 
that's me leaving with my 
thoughts so tangled wanna 
just stop breathing

just jump, it's right there
I'm on the ledge but I still feel dead
just jump, take in the fear
crawl up out the mud so I can really 
fucking kill it, shit's real

[burb]
shit is real out there
I fuck myself up like i just dont care
shit is weird i aint scared to 
disappear like Ive never been there x2

watch me bleed hoe, stab me in the back 
and watch me leave hoe
burning bridges and im burning my lungs 
with the whole lot of weed that i breathe hoe
bleed hoe, stab me in the back and watch me leave hoe
I burried the man that I was for the man that 
I am cause I think this is what I should be hoe

PROBLEMS - gk, deadwinter, wærry & burb

First sound from my forthcoming Taut LP. This will be something like my 19th full length, and although I never felt out of breath, what a wonderful marathon its been. The song is more California quiet storm than gale force, but hopefully you feel it.

I'll be posting the stems for download soon and would love to hear your take on the song, or just pass along the the skittering drums for you to find use.
