DESCRIPTION:
Faüxmish is a Los Angeles art-rock supergroup that came together over a shared engagement with American spiritual sects who remove themselves from established social norms and create their own culture as outsiders.

Taking as their motto "Simplicity Through Noise," Faüxmish have developed a practice rooted in improvisational ensemble playing using electric guitars (played with rubber mallets and other extended as well as traditional techniques) and vintage synthesizers, in various combinations of three.

Initially conceived as a 'wall of sound,' the group's music rapidly developed a complex and idiosyncratic audio vocabulary drawing on the members' widely divergent individual musical backgrounds, which range from noise to prog, post-punk to film scores, and 90s alt-rock to improvisational audio collage. The results range from dreamy ambient soundscapes to theatrical rock songs.

Redacted Records is proud to announce 'F for Ache' -- the debut release by Faüxmish. The album is being released in two different limited edition configurations
-- a 12" vinyl LP in a numbered edition of 100, with a hand-silkscreened cover and a unique collaborative collage on each back cover, created by the three band members. The LP also contains one track unavailable on the CD version.
-- a limited CD edition of 500, with covers individually personalized by the band members, and featuring a wealth of integrated bonus tracks.

Marnie Weber is an internationally renowned multimedia artist whose work encompasses collage, sculpture, performance, filmmaking, and music. Her recent five-year cycle of works The Spirit Girls detailed the mythic adventures of a group of deceased adolescent girls who form a rock band in the afterlife to try to communicate with the living. The project resulted in museum and gallery exhibits, live performances, several films, and a full length CD. Marnie's cultural activities began with her tenure in The Party Boys, one of LA's seminal post-punk groups -- the original house band at downtown LA's notorious Al's Bar whose first album 'No Aggro' was released on the legendary Independent Project Records in 1981.

Dani Tull is a Los Angeles based visual artist and musician, whose work has been seen in solo exhibitions at Jack Hanley Gallery, Jessica Fredericks Fine Art, Blum & Poe, Galerie Haus Schneider Uschi Kolb, and many others. Dani's also a legendary guitarist on the LA rock scene, having participated in numerous bands including The Spirit Girls, boygeorgemichaeljacksonbrown, Fancypants (with George Hurley and Tom Watson), and Eric Avery's criminally underrated post-Jane's Addiction band Polarbear, as well as extensive solo projects and performances, musical collaborations with artist Jim Shaw in Europe and America, and scoring numerous films.

Doug Harvey is an internationally exhibited visual artist, an experimental musician, a prolific independent curator, an educator, and one of the pre-eminent art critics in America. He has created a large body of solo sound art recordings and events, as well as leading or participating in such bands as Tenacious Mucoid Exudate, The Warm, The New Suicide Revolutionary Jazz Bad, The Charles Ray Experience, and Fireworks -- in addition to his 25-year long involvement with improvisational audio collage group Mannlicher Carcano and their weekly live radio broadcast. Mannlicher Carcano's most recent release, 'Courtesy Flush' collected a full year's worth of radio shows onto a single disc of mp3 files. Their first ever full-length vinyl LP 'CORPS' is scheduled for release on Redacted Records later this year.
