Faitiche welcomes back an old friend: Andrew Pekler was the musical director of the 2011 album Sonne=Blackbox (Ursula Bogner, faitiche05). Known for his albums on Senufo Editions, Entr’acte, Dekorder, Kranky and other labels, Andrew Pekler’s new work Tristes Tropiques is now released by Faitiche. Tristes Tropiques is an album of synthetic exotica, pseudo-ethnographic music and manipulated field recordings.
For Böser Herbst, Thomas Fehlmann returns to the sediment of ages, drawing from a similar lexicon of sounds to that used on 2018’s 1929 – Das Jahr Babylon. Like that album, Böser Herbst was produced as the soundtrack to a documentary made by Matthias Luthardt, Herbst 1929, Schatten Über Babylon, which offers historical insight to the third season of the television series Babylon Berlin.
With his new album, Year Of The Living Dead, Vienna-born and LA-based producer John Tejada finds a blissful extended moment of balance between the new and the familiar.

With RV8, the Osaka-based producer and musician Aoki Takamasa continues his longterm project that focuses on the modulation of rhythms and grooves, which began with his first EP Rhythm Variations in 2009, released as part three of the Unun-series.
