Alternative four-piece The Faim have released their sophomore album, Talk Talk, this July. Touching on nostalgia, celebration, escapism, and self-discovery, Talk Talk follows the band’s natural progression since the release of 2019 State Of Mind.
Along with self-producing, Talk Talk features production credits from several notable producers, 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).
The album features the adrenaline-charged single The Hills, and the self-produced track Me Because Of You both of which are climbing international radio charts. The Faim (French for hunger) are currently finishing up a successful UK and EU tour, performing at major festivals in France, Germany and Belgium.
The album also features the celebratory ERA, captivating The Alchemist, driving pop-rock anthem Ease My Mind and the upbeat pop-rock Flowers. In Flowers, Josh Raven (vocals), Stephen Beerkens (bass, keyboard), Samuel Tye (guitar) and Linden Marissen (drums) are all able to highlight their individual talents on their respective instruments.
The Faim have proven themselves as a group of musicians who are all about making genuine songs that bring people together and create a community.
Stephen Beerkens commented, “This album is our most personal yet and the most involved we’ve ever been in the entire creative process. We hope everyone who listens enjoys hearing a new side to the band.”
The Talk Talk Australian tour kicks off in the band’s hometown, finishing up in Adelaide.
