Release Notes:
From the smallness of that space the substance of Alcoholic Faith
Mission took shape in their first album, Misery Loves Company.
Variously encompassed as a self-indulgent, melancholy, acoustic
outreach, Misery made a modest splash that fueled a tour of Denmark,
and occasioned the bandÆs evolution from a varied collective with a
core of two, into the five constituents including Kristine Permild,
Gustav Rasmussen and Laurids Smedegaard that make AFM today. It also
brought forth PonyRec, the bandÆs European label and management firm.
The second album was the result of a half year immersion in an old
factory loft nestled in the heart of Hasidic Brooklyn. For this outing,
the dogma confined them to using only the things they found within the
four walls of the flat to compose and frame every track.
Named for the address, 421 Wythe Avenue was heard by many and written
about by a good number of bloggers and journalists. The reviews have
ranged from mild intrigue to utter adoration.
Three tours of Europe followed, as did label deals in Japan and the
U.S. The proverbial icing on the cake came from Canadian indie film,
Point Traverse that put four songs from 421 on its soundtrack.
As you read this, the album winds its way around the Americas, Japan,
and the U.K. Perhaps it leaves an impression there that has begun to
define the band and its sound in a new way. Perhaps, as many of the
reviewers reckon, itÆs even a new sound.
Alcoholic Faith MissionÆs third release, cumbersomely titled Let This
Be the Last Night We Care, will be available for general consumption in
March of 2010. The band will be touring the U.S. and Japan along with
an extensive showing in Europe, including a coming out in England.
