Fail is the work of Dan Fox, who is also the man behind Inner Demons Records and Loss. As such, he likely needs no introduction (but if you need one, I did an interview with him for Chain DLK). This disc is one track that weighs in at 14:14 titled “160708,” which I would guess is when it was recorded. If you are expecting the symphonic power electronics of Loss, you will be disappointed, because this is much more raw and noisy, but still has some of the same foreboding feel. “160708” is an exercise in repetition. First we have a pulsating and plodding bass line over improvised noisy guitar and synth, which then gives way to machine-like pulses that give the feel of being in a factory as blasts of noise assault your from different sides. At times, it sounds like you are being attacked in an 8-bit video game as the factory grinds on. It changes enough over time to keep from getting too monotonous, while maintaining enough consistency to keep continuity. The notes for the disc say that it was recorded live at The Venture Compound, and that is the feel that you get from the disc. If you want to get a taste of what Fail would sound like live, this is your chance. And it sounds like it would be an interesting show.
