[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................

Oneiric psy-punks FEDERATION drop their debut long player F,
with the trio forging a unique sound that draws on 80's goth,
spider-web post punk, and thumping late 90's trance.

BLACK EGGS CRACKED HOT IN THE MORNING SUN / BRITTLE SYMBOLS OF
YOUTH

SYNTHETIC FIELDS opens the LP, one of 3 cinematic instrumentals
bridging the albums head, abdomen, and thorax, before an
extended cut of JUST LIKE YOU, the song that relaunched the
project in 2020, delivers the first of F's uppercut thumps.

Latest single LEATHER HEART finds the band at their crossover
heaviest, with LOST's leaky heart ventricle inspiring visions of
blood-red tsunamis, soundtracked by MOTH's scuzz metal guitars,
and MOWATT'S jaw-wobbling synth pads.

REMAINS IN THE DRAINS / A MAZE BEHIND YOUR EYES

LEAVE THE WAR BEHIND introduces a deeper sound to the band's
armoury, with a Billie Jean groove, a choral Chameleons guitar
riff, and televangelical harmonies.

NEW RELIGION is a red magic attack on warmonger
authoritarianism, with VENUS airlifting us out of the gory
fields of chemical warfare and into the black fulcrum of
infinite cosmos, by way of a Shot by Both Sides bassline and a
stadium chorus.

The 9th Configuration-inspired JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T REMEMBER,
DOESN'T MEAN YOU
DIDN'T DREAM LAST NIGHT, finds FEDERATION in power-groove
industrial mode, with
the mechanical noise of pistons and chains eventually giving way
to one of F's most transcendent moments.

ASK AN EYE invokes Blakean visions of Mel & Kim, in a
particularly playful portion, before BE THERE, a song which many
believed signalled the death of the project, due to a video of
RICH MOWATT drowning BEN LOST in a bath, produces the whip for
the final furlong.

BUILT ON SAND, the third of three ambient scores, sits
penultimate, with the Hi-Energy BORN TO BE LOVED coming on like
Morrissey fronting A Flock of Seagulls at the Berlin Love Parade.

SYNTHETIC FIELDS OF ENDLESS LOVE / YOUR SACRED ONLINE INVOCATION
As a congealed populace sinks into new vistas of digital
reality, F explores the desire to both exalt and transcend the
analogue flesh, with alchemical themes of death, sex, rot and
rebirth, found in each branch of F's cosmic nervous system.

YOU'VE GOT TO STUDY WHAT IT'S NOT / TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS

- F.
