Let's talk about Factory Floor

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 riverbank
I will be coming when the air is black
All my time is lying on the factory floor
And all my time is lying on the factory floor

Some say messiah coming got to get it right
Some say messiah coming give me back my time
All my time is lying on the factory floor
And all my time is lying on the factory floor

nik void did a pretty great album with chris & cosey this year

I do wish they'd stop eking stuff out slowly and put out some proper releases though.

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

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.

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.

nice

super psyched. these guys are great.

nice

their earlier stuff is pretty hot too, all basically sounds the same

album in september!!

this is cool too. Daniel Avery - Drone Logic (Factory Floor Gabe Gurnsey Remix)

the other week I found a copy of their debut single for 50p. http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=1612344&ev=rb It'd probably be worth quite a bit if someone hadn't written in all of the numbered boxes on the sleeve.

to be fair the packaging on the new LP looks pretty elaborate and cool

Probably an obvious point but: the bass on Two Different ways

Did we talk about Beachcombing anywhere? 'Cos it's amazing.

Oh shit it's posted on this thread. I can't read.

Can't wait to hear the album. It got a lukewarm review in The Wire (not that I'm taking much more note of the review than that)

This album is great!!!

:)

omg omg omg

Loving it on first listen. <3 these guys so much.

'relevee' (carl craig rmx) - deep house trappings + more aggro synth settings = this record.

that is a hell of a recommendation

this is awesome

Really looking forward to this.

Ditto. Is it out physically on Monday or just digitally?

digitally. physical in October.

or at least for the vinyl. not sure about the CD

Streaming on the Guardian. The comments were pretty much all abuse when I checked. Not that that's any indication.

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

So this thing's up on Spotify today, excellent so far imo.

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.

none of the singles worked for me entirely on their own but for some reason i'm really loving the album

oh god, this is so gorgeous. How could anybody say this way boring? It is beautiful.

*was

yeah im loving this

It's just so bleepy bleeping. My favourite of all types of music probably.

Still don't think I ever heard anything by these guys but I guess I should now.

Also I want to know what electricsound's initial posts were about! Um, if he wants to share.

shiiiiiiit this track 'C Side' on the release with Peter Gordon, blissful.

cosmic yacht rock.

THIS RECORD

I listened to this once and wasn't quite feeling it but I probably shouldn't have listened immediately after the new NIN. Think I need to get into more of a Carl Craig mindset with it.

I love it. Don't understand the naysayers at all. Lots of fun.

worked from home this morning and took the opportunity to blast this really loud. it sounded dope.

sorry neighbors

Elton John is feeling it - http://www.nme.com/news/elton-john--2/72681

So I can't really get my head round this band, but feel like I might not be listening to the right stuff or something... I'd certainly like to give em another go. Can anyone recommend a top 10 tracks?

This has basically nothing to do with Interpol at all and sounds like Factory Floor hitting their Technique period slightly early? It's amazing, tho.

playing here in two weeks! Has anyone seen them recently?

Five weeks :( - you got my hopes up

you coming to BCN sic?

If you're in europe already there's this bespoke little festival

http://leguesswho.nl/

oh derp I thought you meant Melbourne

So I got the new one, 25 25. Reminds me of a lot of stuff on the Acid: Can You Jack comp, minimal as fuck (even compared to the first album).

Really loving this new album, relentless tracky and squelchy.

Well this is fucking fantastic.

it's banging & only banging

I'm listening to Gabe Gurnsey's solo lp right now and it's extremely satisfying.

First Nik Void solo album, Bucked Up Space, to be released in April on Editions Mego.

not sure. need to hear more.

The new Gabe Gurnsey album Diablo is wonderful, from what I've heard so far. Definitely the houseier side of the Factory Floor sound. Lead single Push is a banger.

Agree! It feels like New Order/Cabs comfort food, pretty similar to what LoneLady has been doing. The previous one was good, this one is better though I can't decide if I like the vocals or not.

push is so good
