Last month, FAIM introduced plans to comply with Hollow Hope with a brand new LP referred to as Your Life And Nothing Else, which they recorded with producer Jack Shirley, who’s made basic data with folks like Deafheaven, Jeff Rosenstock, and Gulch. FAIM additionally mentioned that Your Life And Nothing Else might be their swan music. They’ll launch the album and do a bit extra touring, after which the band might be completed.
FAIM already shared the early single “Silver Spoon,” and it fucking guidelines. Today, they’ve additionally dropped a brand new monitor referred to as “Opus,” which is particularly in regards to the finish of the band. Over quick riffage that turns right into a deep churn, singer Kat roars in regards to the unanswered query of whether or not she ought to’ve devoted all her vitality to this band within the first place: “Why even pretend this is meaningful?/ Staring at white lines, grasping onto past lives.” It’s heavy shit. Here’s what Kat says in regards to the music:
When I moved to Washington State, we knew we couldn’t maintain going with the band indefinitely. Being older, we actually needed to spend our break day work not simply touring, and this band had began taking numerous that private time away. Putting an finish date on the band has allowed us to offer 100% to this band in a selected timeframe. Plus, we all know it is a scene for the youth, and we didn’t wish to overstay our welcome. “Opus” is about all of this. Did I make sensible life decisions? Can I let go of one thing that has been an integral a part of my life for the previous six years? Was all of it a waste of time?
It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to this band. I’m grateful for the alternatives and friendships which have come out of it, however I’m additionally prepared to maneuver on.
