- The lights of the city come on one by one, forging their defences against the encroaching darkness. There's a killer on the loose tonight, but it's no werewolf - this time, what you fear is human. It might even be you.
To a band that studies the sinister side of human experience, the twilight, that moment of suspension between light and dark, holds endless fascination. Singer, songwriter, and founding member of Faker, Nathan Hudson, admits that it's always been one of his nightmares. “I've had a fear of twilight ever since I was a kid,' he says. 'Anything could happen.”
There comes a time when fears must be faced, sacrifices made, choices stated, hands forced. And for Hudson, that's what the new record addresses. “The last record was caught in a place of nostalgia... essentially this record is about change - and making it happen.”
Faker is a band which knows how to make it happen. If any restraining influences were detectable on 2005's runaway success Addicted Romantic, they have vanished into the night on this, Faker's second full-length album. It's up-front, fierce, and in the moment, but without being studied or overly aggressive. It moves in that suspended light where possibilities seem to multiply. It's a startling achievement which Hudson credits to the closeness of the members.
“Six to nine months before we made the record we had to figure out how to communicate again,” says Hudson. This was the moment of departure of Phil Downing on guitar, a close friend of Nathan's who left to pursue other projects. With the tighter team of Hudson, Nic Munnings on bass, Paul Berryman on drums, and Stefan Gregory on guitar, Faker is closing in on its vision like a serial killer.
“The arrangements are more stripped back because we're playing as a four piece and centralising one guitar,” he says. “Simplifying the roles allowed us to take more creative leaps in other ways.” And it has certainly allowed the band to face their demons.
Single, This Heart Attack, with its precarious intensity, ("I'm about to flat-line") is a song about escaping dangerous situations – “acknowledging that your head's about to explode,” as Hudson puts it. And then there's Sleepwalking, a habit for which Hudson is infamous. This track is about “being on autopilot, feeling like you're not in control... fighting relationships that don't evolve.”
Voodoo Economics, with its anthem of “I want danger” is the cure for those horrors, and Hudson pinpoints it as a song about risk-taking, telling us “not to be scared of... real life,” despite the climate of fear in which we live.
Faker have learned that once their fears are faced, the possibilities are endless - which is why, perhaps, BE THE TWILIGHT comes across as such a decisive statement. For all its fascination with the dark side of the human psyche, this record has a maturity and cohesiveness that

TRIPLE J, ALOHA & THE HARBOUR AGENCY PRESENT
Sydney purveyors of melancholic pop rock FAKER are about to hit the road to celebrate the forthcoming release of their sophomore album BE THE TWILIGHT featuring the brand spanking new single This Heart Attack. With BE THE TWILIGHT set for release on November 17, FAKER will embark on their national album tour upon the release of the record.
FAKER say that something happens in the turning of day to night when things get lost and found in the light and on BE THE TWILIGHT, the band captures that fleeting time of day with a dynamic sound all of their own – eclectic chaotic danceability paired with a modern complexity. Frontman Nathan Hudson admits, “I’ve had a fear of twilight ever since I was a kid. Anything could happen.” And anything indeed could happen when FAKER take to the stage. Known for their energetic and enthralling live performances lead by wild on stage antics from Hudson, FAKER’s BE THE TWILIGHT, tour is not to be missed.
Presented by triple j, FAKER are psyched to announce their touring companions on the BE THE TWILIGHT, album tour will be Children Collide and E.L.F.
Melbourne’s Children Collide join the BE THE TWILIGHT, tour for their final live outing before they head indoors this Summer to record their debut album, due for release in the new year. Described as indescribable, Children Collide’s music is an edgy obscure form of rock and their high energy live sets are guaranteed to get audiences moving.
While E.L.F otherwise known as the new solo laptronic indie dance band from gerling’s Darren Cross will see this lone gent use laptop based samples as well as live vocals and mash-ups to bring an inspired, multi-layered party E.L.F. On the BE THE TWILIGHT, tour, punters will be treated to a double dose from E.L.F when Darren performs a live set to kick the night off as well as a DJ set to gear everyone up for the main event, FAKER!
