'Noiseworks', the second full-length album from Faux Pas, is a bold vision of 21st century synth-pop lovingly crafted by one man, Melbourne's Tim Shiel. In the four years since his 2006 debut record 'Entropy Begins at Home' - a selfreleased pastiche of exotica samples that drew critical acclaim and community radio support - Faux Pas has been far from dormant. There have been three EPs, each containing a lead track well supported by community radio and Triple J alike: Changes in 2007, Chasing Waterfalls in 2008, and Silver Line in December 2009. There have also been remixes for Pikelet, Gotye, Paul Dempsey - the latter appearing on none other than a Ministry of Sound comp! 'Noiseworks' was pieced together by Tim in his home studio throughout 2009, and then mixed with the assistance of Melbourne producer Franc Tetaz, well-known for his work with Architecture in Helsinki, Sally Seltmann and Lior. Evocative and relentlessly inventive, 'Noiseworks' is a definitive mission statement of sound that affirms its creator as a true musical iconoclast. It's a cliche - but on this record, Faux Pas finally arrives.
