Broken Down Gentlemen

Faustus, the illustrious trio made up of Benji Kirkpatrick, Paul Sartin, and Saul Rose, have returned with their latest offering, "Broken Down Gentlemen." A title that may suggest a certain level of dishevelment, but fear not, dear listeners, for this album is anything but broken down. From the very first track, "Waitsfield," Faustus showcases their masterful blend of traditional folk melodies with a modern twist. The harmonies are tight, the instrumentation crisp, and the overall sound is as infectious as ever. It's like they've taken a time machine to the past, plucked the best bits of English folk music, and brought it back to the present with a fresh coat of paint. But it's not all sunshine and roses on "Broken Down Gentlemen." Tracks like "Tattered and Torn" and "Lost and Lonely" delve into darker themes, exploring the complexities of human emotion with haunting lyrical depth. It's a reminder that while Faustus may be masters of their craft, they're not afraid to show their vulnerability. Overall, "Broken Down Gentlemen" is a triumph for Faustus, showcasing their exceptional musicianship and unwavering creativity. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the soothing sounds of Faustus wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
