It is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, and it comes on white vinyl. Watch the tense official video for“North America Endless” directed by Joshua Ford now.
 
FACS have been perfecting their brand of intense, cathartic art rock over the course of four ever-evolving albums. Beginning with 2018’sNegative Housesthrough 2021’s landmarkPresent Tense, the trio digs deep into the gaping maw of a black hole and pulls back whatever debris they can grasp onto. Their 2023 LPStill Life iDecaycame as an addendum to their last album— a “post-event review,” if you will. The band is made up of Brian Case (90 Day Men, The Ponys, Disappears), Jonathan Van Herik (Disappears), and Noah Leger (Milemarker).
 
Case says of “North America Endless,” “We had been talking a lot about how to incorporate melody in a new way with the material we were starting to write afterStill Life in Decay, and this was one of the first experiments with that. I had this inverted Polvo thing I had been playing around with that Jonathan married to a really nice Frippy sustained lead, and it kind of just wrote itself. Lyrically, it's about the dissociation needed to live in this country and the powerlessness that can bring. Noah's beat at the end of the song is one of my favorites from him.”
 
Regarding the cover of Eurythmics’ “Take Me to Your Heart,” Case says the song is “A band favorite, we've been kicking around a version of this since we first started FACS, but for some reason just got around to completing it now. This song has a lot of elements we keep in focus when we write - repetition, space, off-the-grid melodies, and mantra-like lyrics that can be construed in a few ways based on what perspective you view them from.”
 
FACS “North America Endless” b/w “Take Me to Your Heart” single can now be preordered atmegamart.subpop.com,select independent retailers in North America, and Bandcamp.
