FACS Vinyl Records
Playing dark, propulsive music that stands at the intersection of post-punk and post-rock, Facs formed from the ashes of the like-minded Chicago outfit Disappears. They stripped their music down to its starkest rhythmic foundations on their 2018 debut Negative Houses, then added more experimentation and melody on 2020's Void Moments and the following year's Present Tense. The band formed in late 2016, when Disappears bassist Damon Carruesco left to concentrate on his visual art and his electronic project Tüth. The group's remaining members -- guitarist/vocalist Brian Case, guitarist Jonathan Van Herik, and drummer Noah Leger -- wanted to keep making music together, so Case switched to bass and the trio rechristened itself Facs.
