Unmistakably Nathan Fake, but with a warmer take on the hard-edged techno that dominated previous mini-longplayer Hard Islands, the deceptively simple melody of ‘Iceni Strings’ resonates with a campfire folk memorability that becomes the Iceni, the ancient Norfolk-dwelling Celtic tribe who lend their name to the title. ‘Iceni Strings’ is a fitting first single to be lifted from Nathan Fake’s nostalgically-titled third album ‘Steam Days’, due for release late August on Border Community.

The cheeky 12” vinyl release of ‘Iceni Strings’ also comes backed with two equally blistering B-sides: previously unreleased symphonic live anthem ‘Sense Head’, and the fresh-to-tape steely, austere metropolitan soundscape of ‘Bauxite Dream’.[info from bc]
