Form Follows Function: The Evolution of (Sick) Man

The Sick Man Of Europe

On the back of this year’s eponymous debut album, The Sick Man Of Europe releases Fade/Form (The Bunker Tapes) – a live document of the evolution from the studio to the stage.

Recorded in secret during this summer of discontent in a room beneath a factory on a hill – watch the full-length video below.

“These ideas have evolved into something I never thought they would,” explains The Sick Man Of Europe. “Through exposure they have accumulated weight. The meanings have warped and twisted and they’ve become something else entirely – something more urgent. Repetition has deepened the grooves and cut into the earth. They are now beyond my careful control. Captured for posterity.”

Fade/Form (The Bunker Tapes) is currently available via Bandcamp only. There is a limited edition cassette up for pre-order which features an additional track unavailable digitally.
