Up there with one of the best acts I've seen live, Faithless are returning to Dublin next Wednesday, to play the Olympia, tickets available from Ticketmaster, (€45/50).
"Faithless have always been musical movers and shakers. When this British collective first emerged in the mid-1990s, the idea that a dance music act could produce rich full-length albums rather than one-off tracks, pack out live concerts, and bring together all kinds of genres and music fans, seemed quite revolutionary.
Fourteen years, several albums and numerous global tours, festivals and hits later, those Faithless qualities have become benchmarks of the 21st-century music scene. Now their sixth studio album ‘The Dance’ reunites the central trio of Buddhist MC/poet Maxi Jazz, indomitably cool club doyenne Sister Bliss and visionary producer Rollo, and extends that Faithless energy even further – always passionate, always progressive.
“We definitely put an effort into returning to our dancefloor roots on this album,” agrees Bliss. “To All New Arrivals, was a beautiful record, but its mood was more quiet and reflective. This record was a big thank you to our fans as well as a mark of the eclecticism of our band. It’s a reconnection with where we’ve come from – we definitely wanted to feel that housey, anthemic energy again – but it’s also about renewal.”
‘The Dance’ is the first Faithless album recorded and mixed outside London, as they relocated to Rollo’s studio in the Norfolk countryside. While their previous records have embraced an array of guest vocalists such as Cat Power, Robert Smith and Boy George, this time the Faithless extended family includes the soaring tones of The Temper Trap’s frontman Dougy Mandagi on ‘Comin Around’ (“He has such an exquisite voice,” enthuses Bliss)."
