Exclusive Record Store Day 12" vinyl release.
FAUST are one of the main protagonists of krautrock. When their first LP was released in 1971, their collage of Dadaism, avant-garde rock and free improvisation radically divided opinion. Whilst some lauded FAUST as the best thing that ever happened to rock, others dismissed them as shameless dilettantes. After several split-ups, reunions and line-up changes, FAUST today comprises the founder members Jean-Hervé Peron and Zappi Diermeier plus James Johnston (GALLON DRUNK) and the British artist Geraldine Swayne. Their track on our exclusive 12-inch is a previously unreleased outtake from their most recent recording session.
LIKE A STUNTMAN play eccentric, weird, harmonic, glitchy electro kraut pop like you have never heard before. Their first release on Bureau B ("Original Bedouin Culture", 2009) was highly acclaimed by the critics and classified as "krautrock for the post Radiohead generation" or "Germany’s Animal Collective". The band had raised the bar to dizzying heights on this album - with the following "YOY" (2011) they have risen even higher. Especially for this vinyl edition, the Hamburg and Frankfurt based quartet recorded two brand new songs which prove their uniqueness once again.
