Over the course of four highly dynamic albums, Chicago's FACS have honed their distinct brand of forceful post punk. Their new album, Still Life In Decay, will be released on April 7th, 2023. It serves as an update to their previous record described by the band as a "post-event review."
With standout performances from the three members and lyrical themes that touch on topics of withdrawal, skepticism, social injustice, and a quest for identity and purpose in a collapsing society, the band's debut single When You Say is a very sturdy and memorable song.
In a post-pandemic avalanche of overstimulation and constant stress, When You Say evokes the musical equivalent of an instinctual desire to cling onto anything.
