Fassine - Forge (2020)

Fassine's third album, 'Forge' is a tribute to the unassuming heroes on the fringes of society, the small pockets of communities that are overlooked, unheard, and ignored. 'Their ways of work and living are changing, either drying up or being sold off, and this is causing people to burn with frustration whilst also causing them to reaffirm their strengths and identities', say Fassine. The London trio's distinctive take on electronic music has previously earned acclaim and support from the likes of The Guardian, The Independent, Clash and more. Yet on 'Forge', they're bolder than ever before, the instrumentation heavier and more aggressive than on previous full lengths 'Gourami' (2017) and 'Dialectik' (2016).
