\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moving south-east here for the second of four posts today, this one collecting the full vinyl discography by Nashville, Tennessee band Factual, whose track “Psychotic Romance” is an underrated minimal synth gem from this rare neck of the woods. That track must have appeared in the majority of my DJ sets back in NYC’s Wierd party where its driving post-punk rhythms and buzzing synths made for a regular foggy dance floor killer. I haven’t heard the track in some time, and fell in love with it (as well as the similarly excellent tracks “Your Way” and “Wire and Chrome”) all over again when re-ripping these for y’all.<\/p>\n

This band was otherwise a four piece, and vocalist\/synth player Robb Earls also played in similarly like-minded bands Actuel (whose lone album\u00a0Monuments<\/em><\/a> is a sublime slice of moody Factory-inspired post-punk, maybe I’ll re-post that one soon as well) as well as Warm Dark Pocket<\/a>, who released one killer 12” that I also should get around to re-ripping soon… Guitarist Skot Nelson would also join caustic industrial\/post-punk project Dessau<\/a> after Factual’s demise.<\/p>\n

Here are all three Factual releases, all well worth your time. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
