The mostly anonymous producer FSS joins Veyl with 'MMXX_FFS', a collection of nine raw, mangled numbers that manage to make lo-fi sound hi-fi. Built in moments stolen from working with DIY punk bands and artists producing for Warp, UNO, True Panther, Lucky Me and Tri Angle.... Originally from New Mexico, now living in London, with NYC on the horizon, FSS is no newcomer, and this isn't your usual debut. Inspired by a need to release the rage and disillusionment brought on by the extreme shit show the world has become, the writing of 'MMXX_FSS' - "it's nearly 2020, for fuck's sake" - doubled as a cathartic process for the artist, providing much-needed relief from the constant struggle of living on this planet. Urged to push into the wild and off the beaten path, the record's sound is filtered through an ongoing battle with tinnitus, a heavy fascination with distortion, and a treasure of inspired electronics. Memories of clear, bright landscapes play like loops, bombarded with the shock and suffering of urban action. Based on the reality of constantly vacillating from moments of familial bliss to existential terror in a white hot flash, 'MMXX_FFS' is a snapshot of this process. Generating more. FSS' debut is out this December on cassette and digital, as always featuring artwork by Tomaso Lisca.
