FACS - Wish Defense (Pre-Orders)

With their sixth studio album “Wish Defense” (again for longtime home Trouble In Mind Records), Chicago trio FACS take a good, long look in the mirror to face themselves.

“Wish Defense” is the last album engineered by Steve Albini. Two days were recorded at Electrical Audio in early May of 2024 before Steve’s untimely passing, with renowned engineer & friend Sanford Parker stepping in to finish the session 24 hours later, tracking the last bits of vocals and overdubs. Longtime collaborator John Congleton mixed the album as Albini would have; in Electrical Audio’s A room, off the tape, using Albini’s notes about the session.

Noah Leger: Drums + Percussion
Jonathan Van Herik: Bass + Acoustic guitar + Bass VI
Brian Case: Guitar + Vocals + Keyboards

Available to pre-order now: on Indies Exclusive Limited Edition White Vinyl LP, Standard Edition Black Vinyl LP, Limited Edition Cassette and CD.
