About
In the shadowy recesses of the UK's mid-1980s underground, Face In The Crowd emerged with a tectonic force that resonated through metallic and experimental realms, their harsh vocals and heavy guitar riffs weaving a gravitational tapestry as they drifted between the lo-fi worlds of cassette-only releases, each tape a raw document of complex rhythms and experimental structures, where Phoenix first ignited in 1984 on Stride, only to be followed by the infinite wreckage of releases like Infinite Wreckage on Medicinal Tapes and the introspective melancholy of Playing Music To An Empty Room on Zeal SS, their sound a sustained assault that drew listeners into the deep void, where the last breaths of Nothing Left To Say echoed into silence in 1986, their legacy further crystallized in the compilation Scratching For Termites: The Best Of Face In The Crowd 1984-86 on Mystery Hearsay, and finally, Strange Disguise in 1987 marked their self-released farewell, a final harmonic whisper in the infinite expanse of time.
