If you are even the slightest fan of post-punk, then you need The Dead Space’s new album “Faker” in your life. There’s not a track on it that isn’t rad.
Am I the only person that’s about to be poleaxed by The Dead Space’s long-awaited debut album, ‘Faker’, expertly recorded by Ian Rundell. The trio of bassist/vocalist Quin Galavis, guitarist Garrett Hadden and drummer Jenny Arthur have been honing their craft in Austin, TX since high school, but after a 7” single on Hadden’s excellent Thread Pull label (Flesh Lights, Foreign Mothers), a song on the second ‘Casual Victim Pile’ compilation, the moment is long overdue for The Dead Space to put-it-all-together. And that’s exactly what they’ve done —this is a band whose blend of tension, fragility and genuine muscle —certainly in the spirit of their influences like Joy Division, Bauhaus and Swans .
