After the runaway success of the Akita/Gustafsson/O'Rourke LP One Bird Two Bird (DEMEGO 016LP), Swedish sax legend Mats Gustafsson returns to Editions Mego with another storming collaboration. Now a resident of Vienna, he teamed up with experimental artists dieb13 and Martin Siewert for a live and studio session. (Fake) The Facts is the result. A dense fog of sound comes from all directions, but whereas the general impetus is a full-on attack, the trio finds enough restraint to create a deeper dynamic and open the spaces between the walls of noise. dieb13: turntables, cigar box; Mats Gustafsson: soprano, slide and tenor sax, live electronics; Martin Siewert: guitars, ring stinger, electronics. Cover art by Dieter Kovacic and Billy Roisz. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin, September 2011.
