Here, in an extract from a new oral history of krautrock, all of the major players of Faust remember the band's short, tumultuous and incredibly creative time at Virgin... Mad Dogs & Englishmen: Faust On Virgin Records buff.ly/3UAwaoh @FaberBooks

'The last-day-on-earth blues meets echo-treated beats of ‘Night Crossing’ are more chilling than chillout in the same way as Brian McMahan’s post-Slint project The For Carnation' The Dengie Hundred with Gemma Blackshaw - WHO WILL YOU LOVE buff.ly/4b2UQeC
'Anderson, unsurprisingly, loved singing songs about death and the death of love. “It’s a strangely joyful and life-affirming thing. I hate jolly music, I think it’s disingenuous"' Charles Hazlewood, Brett Anderson & The Paraorchestra Interviewed buff.ly/448UAZl
“We’re not from wealthy backgrounds. We didn’t even have a garage we could rehearse in growing up. [The Lancaster Music Co-op] is where if you haven’t got a drum kit you can hire one for a pound." Tough To Crack: An Interview With @TheLovelyEggs buff.ly/3WiDyG2

The 27th Six Organs of Admittance album offers an appealing take on the folk revival, lifted to new heights by Ben Chasny's strongest vocal performance yet @6organs - TIME IS GLASS buff.ly/4bhFgM2
'Bluesy guitar, sometimes very jazzy – but all the while there's an aura of mystery, an uncertain, paranoid state hovering over this music akin to the bands playing the Road House in Twin Peaks.' URN – Self Sabotage - Inner Ear: Slovak Music for April buff.ly/4aIZFtV
'Elephant Fayre came from a different time, more counter-cultural than most mainstream festivals today. It was a place where people could showcase both their intellectual and creative achievement' Natasha Carthew on the Elephant Fayre buff.ly/4aIYtGK
'On ‘två’, the bass plays a pattern of harmonics equally evoking Jaco Pastorious’ ‘Portrait of Tracy’ and The Necks’ warm austerity.' Ghosted II By @orenambarchi, Johan Berthling & Andreas Werliin is tQ's Album of the Week buff.ly/3JvuhTH
'With an attendant rainbow of emotions spanning initial concern through eventual joy, you too will probably enjoy this insouciant belter.' Surgeon & Speedy J – 'Spirit' - is a Quietus Track of the Month for April 2024 buff.ly/44gofzD
'There is a sense of both existential remove and a contrary, niggling, remorselessness in application: a bit like Faust and Tony Conrad’s Outside the Dream Syndicate' Luka Aron - XV XXVII III XXI IX: VARIATIONS & CODA buff.ly/4bgZWns

“There were times where we came close to giving up. We were absolutely beaten down to nothing, so this album represents what that sounds like for us as a band.” Tough To Crack: An Interview With @TheLovelyEggs buff.ly/3WiDyG2
'‘Variation 1’ starts as the record on: a 7-minute sustained mid-tone with minute tonal wobbles along the way. It makes you feel like you are looking at a piece of metal slowly being formed on a lathe' Luka Aron - XV XXVII III XXI IX: VARIATIONS & CODA buff.ly/4bgZWns
'Bonkers club music in the 'UK techno' vein, primed to spin out even the most restrained, level-headed of 3am dancers. Fittingly appearing on an EP, titled Horsin' Around! Yes Come On!' BFTT – 'Brian, lost Brian' is a Quietus Track of the Month for April buff.ly/44gofzD

Thank you @juderogers for this wonderful long read on Charlotte Sometimes, the novel and the song, and the sadness of losing our grip on childhood. I identified with a lot of this. Few writers can weave together the personal and cultural so well as Jude 🖤
