"Faith in Strangers"

After experiencing a bit of Andy Stott's "Violence" a few weeks back, cooler heads are now prevailing via a chilled-out stream of the title track to his upcoming Faith in Strangers LP.

An elastic trampoline's bounce and the ripple of an electrified waterfall are the first tones to be heard on the cut, though it grows from electronic ambiance into a more organic, Young Marble Giants-leaning bass guitar groove. The angel-hair wisps of vocals hint at thumbing through the celebrity pages of a publication, and the experience of not recognizing yourself in the mirror, among other things.

You'll find the low-key cut down below, while Stott's Faith in Strangers arrives in full November 18 through Modern Love.
