“Superb and criminally underrated” - Louder Than War
“There’s something magical lurking at the heart of the material here...a smart sophisticated appeal that conjures up the band’s distinctive sound, yet also seems imbued with a timeless quality” - Blitzed Magazine
Fiat Lux return with Desire & Belief, their third album of new material this millennium, following their acclaimed comeback LPs Saved Symmetry and Twisted Culture.
The trio—Steve Wright, Will Howard, and David P Crickmore—combine modern production with vintage synths and instruments rooted in their Polydor-era beginnings to craft ten tracks that span cinematic atmospheres, synth-pop anthems, and moody electronica.
Tracks like "Clear Sky" and "Turn Me Around" offer hook-laden synth-pop, while "Summer Solstice" and "Am I Dreaming" delve into ambient and darker tones.
Desire & Belief is a natural progression for Fiat Lux—retaining the spirit of their 1980s Northern roots in synth, goth, and indie, yet confidently stepping into new sonic territory for long-time fans and new listeners alike.
