Engineers - Three Fact Fader

Engineers are back! Four years after the release of their landmark debut, the band return with their epic second album, Three Fact Fader, which is released by Kscope, available from July 6th 2009. The 13-track album was produced by the band along with Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós, M83, Maps) over a period of two years and comes packaged in stunning artwork by legendary music photographer Tom Sheehan. Single Clean Coloured Wire is available from July 20th and the band play their first live show for two years at Bush Hall in London on Friday, July 10 2009.

Engineers are not like any other band. Onstage Simon Phipps is the singer, Dan Macbean is the guitarist, Mark Peters is the bassist and Sweeney is the drummer, but the real clue is in their name: they approach their music like engineers, carefully constructing wonderful walls of sound.

Following the rapturous reception that greeted their mini-album Folly in 2004 and debut Engineers the following year, it's taken them a long time to build the epic that is Three Fact Fader. After initial recording sessions with producer Ken Thomas, Engineers became unwitting victims of record company restructuring and the album was left in limbo, unfinished until the band reconvened earlier this year, largely motivated by public support. "We seem to appeal to people in a really deep way - people tell us our music has helped them through intense times in their lives," explains Mark Peters. "This is why it was so important to get the album released, it means so much more than the peripheral aspects of releasing records."
