Faust (Kraut Rock)
Artist Overview
Faust are one of the seminal Krautrock bands--they even gave the genre its name with one of their early song titles. Their music is a heady mix of rock, avant-garde electronics, and trippy psychedelia. After disbanding in the mid 1970s, the band reunited properly in the 1990s and were embraced by a new and enthusiastic audience. They began touring and recording again, and collaborated with the likes of art rock luminary Jim O'Rourke and experimental hip-hop act Dalek. The band's sound has proven hugely influential on a host of underground, indie, and experimental rock bands of the '80s, '90s, and 2000s.
