Fader Announce New LP 'In Shadow', Stream "Whispering"

Fader, the duo formed by Neil Arthur (Blancmange/Near Future) and Benge (Wrangler/John Foxx and The Maths), have announced the release of their new album 'In Shadow'.

The follow-up to 2017's debut First Light, will be out on October 25. Pre-order your copy here.

Opening with the pulsing darkness of ‘Always Suited Blue’, the tone of the new album is more haunted than their first - cascades of analogue synths falling over rich, sonorous vocals and lyrics that switch between midnight introspection and something more sinister. This slow creep towards something undefined but menacing is partly due to Arthur’s vocals, pitched so low they sound like they’re coming through the boards on the likes of ‘What Did It Say’ and ‘Reporting’. However there’s also a vulnerability in his voice - trying to make some kind of sense out of all the random thoughts and disturbing emotions. ‘Enemy Fighter’ is eerily beautiful, as is the title track which is almost zen-like in its minimalist gloom.

These unsung heroes of underground minimal electronic music seem to be revelling in Fader’s outsider status as they offer a deeply personal album of subtle heartbreak and slow-burning pop songs.

Fader Announce Debut LP 'First Light', Stream Title Track

Fader, a new band formed by Neil Arthur (Blancmange/Near Future) and Benge (Wrangler/John Foxx & The Maths), have announced the release of their debut album 'First Light'.

The music was recorded and mixed at Benge's MemeTune Studios while Arthur recorded his own vocals in his home studio. The resulting album is full of twisted electronic pop songs and haunting atmospherics with lyrics from Arthur that explore internalised, dead-of-night fears to stream-of-conscious visions of city life and evocative descriptions of lost and lonely figures who find themselves out of time and out of place.

The record will be out on 23rd June. Pre-order your copy here.

Check out the tracklist and have a listen to the title track below.

01. 3D Carpets
02. Check The Power
03. I Prefer Solitude

07. Liverpool Brick
