I remember seeing them two years ago at Field Day and pronouncing my exasperation at the lack of an album. What are they up to?
(The Carter Tutti Void album is awesome btw.)

Last I heard they have an album coming out on DFA early next year.

nice moment of synchronicity - was playing Time of the Last Persecution by Bill Fay when I opened this thread, and then these lyrics from 'I Hear You Calling' came on:
I hear you calling from the riverbankI will be coming when the air is blackAll my time is lying on the factory floorAnd all my time is lying on the factory floor
Some say messiah coming got to get it rightSome say messiah coming give me back my timeAll my time is lying on the factory floorAnd all my time is lying on the factory floor

Kinda think they're doing it the right way! Big release will just attract loads of nonsense. They're working with some great people and getting attention from all the places I'd imagine they'd want attention from. They keep putting out good things. As mentioned upthread that recent Perc remix is woahhh
― Crackle Box, Friday, 7 September 2012 10:05 (eleven years ago) link
They keep putting good things out that are so scattered it's really difficult to get enough of a chunk of their material to listen to them, when I'm in the mood to listen to them. Which would be a lot more often if there were, because they are great.

^^^ This is the most Quietus thing ever written and is so pompous its made me want to hate them. Maybe it shows FF up for the nostalgia they are, but most of what I've heard has been pretty good, if hardly earth shattering.
― Matt DC, Friday, 7 September 2012 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
Jesus christ that review was just straight up bullshit - or at least the little I managed to wade through. Did they come to a point eventually? My eyeballs gave up in disgust. If I wanted to read yet another "Americans drive like this, Britishers drive like this..." ramble I'd reread the tipping thread, thanks.

Streaming on the Guardian. The comments were pretty much all abuse when I checked. Not that that's any indication.
― owenf, Wednesday, 4 September 2013 16:47 (ten years ago) link
just took a look at the comments and was expecting "what is this crap it's not music!" and instead got "this sucks, I only like their early stuff!" guess I underestimated the hipness quotient of the Guardian audience.
all the comments complaining that they bent too far toward a run-of-the-mill DFA sound are off base to me but I guess I could see it if you prefer their industrial side to their dancey side

weird, I guess they moved it up or something, I did end up doing the pre-order and in the email with the digital download it says the vinyl will ship later this week. on the webpage where they're selling it it still says it ships in October, haha. I've heard that getting vinyl pressed up in the U.S. is kind of a moving target nowadays as far as getting a solid date.

That 'Drone Logic' remix upthread – well, someone else already said 'loud and clean' so I'll just restate that
― cardamon, Sunday, 15 December 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link
I've often wanted something with the intensity of Ministry's The Land of Rape and Honey that wasn't quite so try hard as that (by try-hard I mean, look at the title of the album); something like that, but that just went forward without huffling about in leather jackets and biker beards.
And also I wanted something avoided another pole, that boringness you get in a lot of generic techno and house these days. I mean, I'm sure plenty of things that hit this point exist and it's just me not knowing about them by Factory Floor just hit me as being the perfect improvement of both of these things.
― cardamon, Sunday, 15 December 2013 23:14 (ten years ago) link
Came to this band because I like Peter Gordon, but totally blindsided to learn that Nikki Colk wound up there. Always thought KaitO were severely underrated, and in no small part due to her vocals, so glad to see she ended up not disappearing.
