Ahead of a brilliant new album landing in September, we have the fabulous FAITHLESS on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound,
Bliss and her production partner Rollo have called the album 'Champion Sound' and it sees Faithless stepping back into the limelight following the death of their singer Maxi Jazz in 2022. It's been a very emotional time for the pair, as they note in our in-depth interview, but they have now crafted what is probably the best Faithless long-player since 'Reverence', their 1996 debut. The vinyl version is a double set, with the tracks on each of the four sides seamlessly sequenced into exhilarating sonic stories. The lyrics are sharp too, as we've come to expect from a group that's never been afraid to balance the hedonism of club hits like 'Insomnia' and 'God Is A DJ' with some deep and serious thinking.
Alongside our cover feature, we have a highly entertaining interview with BAXTER DURY, while MARK REEDER explains how he's brought the long-lost sci-fi flick ‘On The Silver Globe' back to life. You'll also find Jagz Kooner remembering the making of THE SABRES OF PARADISE’s ‘Smokebelch II’, Adam Wiltzie from STARS OF THE LID revealing his influences, and a great piece about the TELEPATHIC FISH chill-out parties that took place in London in the 1990s. Plus GUEDRA GUEDRA, BLACK SITES, JAMES HOLDEN & WACLAW ZIMPEL, VALESUCHI and a whole lot more besides. There's certainly plenty to keep you occupied when it's half past three in the morning and you can’t get no sleep.
