Faith & Disease formed in Seattle, WA. Recently the band signed with Projekt Records and have released two albums ("Beneath The Trees" and "Passport To Kumming"). F&D is the nucleus of Dara Rosenwasser and Eric Cooley, and have gone on two headlining US tours, were selected to play CMJ '99, NXNW '97 and '98, and most recently the sixth annual Convergence Festival. Their music is ambient, etheral, beautifully melancholic melodies with angelic female vocals and lush guitars, keyboards and varied instrumentation. - Faith and Disease website
Reviews:
"The album opens with the bass driven "She's Got a Halo," which spotlights both Rosenwassers soothing and quietly powerful vocals and Cooleys masterful bass and guitar arrangements in a way that is at once reminiscent of classic Faith and Disease while also being evocative of the bands current foray into the world of lo-fi, scaled down, sadcore, arrangements that seem more appropriate to labels such as CMK or Kranky than Projekt. Shes Got a Halo is followed by tracks that become successively more stripped down, successively more vulnerable, and successively more beautiful" - Losing Today
"All sorts of ancient machinery and wizardry are plied tonight. Nico and My Bloody Valentine by way of madrigals and Morgana Le Fey." - Ink19
"Faith and Disease's slow transformation from a quietly elegant goth band to an equally quietly elegant group with a broader range has been one of darker music's better pleasures over recent years. Passage to Kunming continues that progression the first song alone, "She's Got a Halo," suggests everything from New Order's warm bass flow to the Moon Seven Times's rich rural reflections and back again. It's a perfect sign that the core duo of Dara Rosenwasser and Eric Cooley aren't content to simply replicate their past, and if the album title and graphics would seem to promise an exploration into Chinese music more than anything else, the focus here is more on other interests." -NED RAGGET, ALL MUSIC GUIDE
