FEATURED ALBUM: precarious 

by 

FACETOUCHER

3 tracks, 51 minutes

Released May 2025 through Burnt Seed Records

https://facetoucher.bandcamp.com/album/precarious

precarious was recorded as one continuous session by Australian Artist, FACETOUCHER and presented as 3 tracks, each with their own particular character, that together seem to mark out a kind of repeated narrative of ‘forming, collapsing, forming and dissolving’ to use the artist’s words.

FACETOUCHER (aka A Demon Sheen) describes himself as CORONACORE, COVIDWAVE and PLAGUENOISE on his Bandcamp site and all the many releases there do indeed appear to be very much focused on the pandemic and related matters. As the son of a virologist I am especially fascinated.

precarious itself relates to the idea of the countless civilisations that have formed and collapsed for various reasons over the millennia in the long and tumultuous history of the modern human being. Our recent COVID-19 pandemic being the glimpse into what that could have meant in our lifetimes. Precarious - yes, it cannot be ignored that we probably are one ‘supervirus’ away from mass extinction (as my father always used to say). At first you might think this is all very fatalistic, but as FACETOUCHER also points out, from every collapse something new has grown. To that thought I would add the point from Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s book, Antifragile that the best systems are actually improved by adversity - evolution demonstrating this notably.

The opening track sets up a distorted drum machine rhythm with understated vocal samples nimbly dancing in your ears that refuse to go where you expect them to but somehow placing the sound very much in the human realm. This, falling apart and surging back across the 18 minutes of it builds in texture and urgency before receding again into a rarified version of itself.

Listened to in one go, PRECARIOUS 02 begins somewhere in the middle of this lull but subtly becomes oddly funky with the arrival of other sounds underneath that create a new and energised feeling, equally insistent and with a beautifully delicate use of a voice-like tone which draws you close. Never the same for long, the mood is bruised by an increasingly brutal drum treatment that eventually rises up like some destroying angel to strangle everything in its path before it too crumbles into geiger counter-like crackle and plaintive morse chatter.

03 trills and skips enticingly but with increasing intensity until this too is forced to the point of complete destruction before commencing the sonic slope down through various shades of purple religiosity to a final flickering fade.

I love this album for its fresh originality and unpredictability; the deeper conceptual elements and the restraint and detail in the composition. Utterly blissful.

The featured album plays daily at 5pm, UK time.

One World - the immense new Adventurous Music release of international and transcontinental collaboration tracks by a whole host of familiar names and many new ones.

I cannot recommend this highly enough!

https://adventurousmusic.bandcamp.com/album/one-world

The state of today’s society can be described as critical. Once again, we are separating from each other instead of working together to create a world that provides a decent life for everyone.

To set an example, we invited artists to reach out to a fellow artist from another country or even another continent to collaborate on a sound piece. 

We are very happy to be able to present you this amazing collection of collaborative works today. 

You can find links to all involved artists in the digital booklet included in the download.

All possible proceeds will be donated to Amnesty International.
