Australian four-piece rock band The Faim has just announced their sophomore album ‘Talk Talk‘ out July 8 via BMG. The album follows the band’s 2019 debut ‘State Of Mind‘ which Live Nation’s Ones to Watch called “the first chapter in what is bound to be a grand story of one of alternative rock’s greatest bands.”
Today, the band offers another glimpse at their forthcoming record with “The Alchemist,” produced by Grammy-Nominated Producer/Songwriter Matthew Pauling (Palaye Royale, 5 Seconds of Summer, State Champs). The track follows the previously released celebratory track “ERA,” the adrenaline-charged “The Hills,” and the driving pop-rock anthem “Ease My Mind.”
“‘The Alchemist’ is about that one person who unexpectedly enters your life and changes everything for the better,” says bassist and keyboardistStephen Beerkens. “They are the one who picks you up when you’re down, and sees the good in you, even when you don’t see it in yourself.”
Recorded between Los Angeles and Perth, The Faim worked with several producers on ‘Talk Talk’ including Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly), Erik Ron (Panic! At the Disco, Godsmack, Set It Off), and Matthew Pauling (Palaye Royale, 5 Seconds of Summer, State Champs) to showcase the band’s vast range of styles and tones.
Known for non-stop touring and playing hundreds of shows, The Faim are eager to get back on the road after the pandemic lull. The band will embark on a UK & EU headlining tour this summer that will include performances at major festivals Rock am Ring, Download Festival, Rock in Werchter, La Nuit De l’Erdre, Musilac, and more.
