Get Loved by Faker for free
Thu 24th Nov, 2011 in Local News
Following a “less than well-attended tour”, a homophobia/drunken argument controversy and a poorly received EP with a title that doubled as a desperate cry for attention – How Did We Not Get Loved? – Faker’s Nathan Hudson has decided to release the band’s new album for free.
In an open letter posted on the band’s website Hudson explains that:
“The point and excitement in writing and releasing Get Loved is in danger of being missed. We made ‘Get Loved’, our third record, a year ago with a view to releasing it right away. In complete candidness, we’d probably have released it in a matter of days if we could but as the machinery around delivering a record began to kick into gear, it was decided that Get Loved would not be released until June of this year.”
Through its completion and the ensuing year, a revolution in management, record companies swiftly evolving, and the band itself having its own necessary evolution, all eventually lead to the unimaginable conclusion of activity and excitement around this release grinding to a virtual halt.
A new release date too distant to really seem credible sprung up. January 2012? Really? We’ve made something we love here, and suddenly we’re in danger of losing it. You love something, you set it free right?
A less than well-attended tour, people unsure of who or what the band is, it swiftly became, or has become, apparent to ourselves and the powers that be, that a January release date wont work.”
Get Loved will be available for free download from Faker’s from website on December 2nd from midday.
