"Quit Your Day Job"

We used an AI to create the individual frames for this wild video for our wild new song.

Like most of the songs on the new album, this one features drumming by the steller Kellii Scott of Failure. Humbled and grateful by the experience of having his drumwork on these tunes.

Check out the video and pre-order the album at our bandcamp. https://faft.bandcamp.com

Streaming everywhere on the 18th!

So, I suppose that I can reveal that the eminant Kellii Scott of the great band Failure has laid drums down on 5 new songs for a 6 song EP which will be forthcoming. I listened to his work today and can say that he helped to elevate these songs to another level. I am so grateful for moments like this. It gives me hope to continue into the void.
I'll be doing some post-production to compete this album, and I will be exited to share it with everyone as soon as everything is ready. 🥁🎸🎤🙏

Surfer City (2015 Version Restored), by Faft 28/07/2022

After recording this song in 2015 and wanting to do something epic with it, the song wound up not being released until 2020's "Prayer That Our Joy Be Restored', featuring a very stark version with updated lyrics that turned the song on its head and made it a tragedy. Due to this song's popularity among my friends, and the special energy in this demo that is somehow not replicable, I decided to enhance the demo and release it as a single track album. I hope that you enjoy it.

dead eye elegy, by Faft 07/06/2022

Recorded a two song album called "dead eye elegy". A quick and dirty throwback for true fans, which is why it is on bandcamp only. The two song album clocks out at 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Just like robbing a bank. Figured I'd break up all the elaborate music that I have been releasing with something that feels like it is threadbare and falling apart. Enjoy.

Violent Body Death, by Faft 01/06/2022

3 months or so have gone by, and I cerify "Violent Body Death" from "Smiley Cry Us" in the top 10 songs I've put out there. Just listening back to that album while I mowed the grass. Still relevent 3 months later in an age of instant in instant out.

23/05/2022

Due to a corrupted file transfer and limitations for small labels, Tripping Glass needed to delete Faft O'Hagen "Where the World Comes to End" from all streaming platforms except Bandcamp, and re-upload. Hopefully this does not take long and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Very disappointed by this. Peace.

Where the World Comes to End, by Faft 22/05/2022

I realize that many of you are waiting for the 30 year anniversary reissue of "Where the World Comes to End", but two points to consider: I doubt I have 30 more years on this planet, and I assure you there are no outtakes!

The newest discovery from Obsolete Instruction is a super minimalist focusing soundtrack for finding power in the plateaus we all so often face. No longer will we view the plateau as an enemy of progress. Instead, we enjoy the wild calm of galloping across it. "Wild Calm: Freedom of the Plateau" now available via bandcamp for name your price. Streaming on other popular platforms soonish.

Being an artist can sometimes feel like you've fallen in love with someone who can't love you back. It is the unrequited love of being excited to share what you've created with a world that has little or no enthusiasm for what you've done. But at the end of the day, you can't help who you love and neither can anyone else. We live in a weird "feed me" time where the consumers grow restless for the next thing. Diving deep into an experience seems to be passé. It is okay. Warhol sort of walked this age down the aisle and his advice was to mind your own business as an artist and just keep creating. Having said all of that, I genuinely hope you will enjoy my next offering, coming 5/20. Here's the opening 10 seconds from each of the 18 songs. Much love, Faft.
