Shining lights in London's queer electronic underground, prolific duo Faff make their debut on Phantasy with the 'A Few Good Days' EP, featuring three tracks reverberating the smudged euphoria of the capital's rave scene, both past and present.Drawing equally on peak-time club catharsis and the emotive experimentation of golden-era IDM and electro, these recordings meld the pair's diverse DJ sets and ambient live work, which has captivated festivals including Draimollen, Field Maneuvers, and Body Movements.The title track, 'A Few Good Days, ' melds hypnotic percussion, snatches of vocal euphoria, and a stuttering break for instant post-rave afterglow. It's wandering but compelling arrangement subtly invokes and updates the pioneering aesthetic of One Dove, Sabres of Paradise, or even William Orbit.The tempo tilts skywards for 'Tracy's Night Out', a peak-time display of Faff's studio prowess that fuses choral techno drama with a shamelessly bouncing bassline designed to tear up any respectable sound system. Emerging from the sweat and strobes for a wide-eyed stroll home, 'Tracy's Daydream' wishes away the EP with delicate, textural delight, floating gently on pure analog reverie.
