Bottled Chaos
In their latest work - Bottled Chaos - FEZ have fully embraced their DIY ethos by writing, recording and producing all tracks in their studio in Cambridge Heath. Striving for something totally unique, the band have rejected current industry trends in favour of something bold and raw. By taking ownership of the creative process from start to finish, this release is the truest reflection of the band's artistic vision to date.
Alongside the creation of the new work, the band have taken on a more community driven focus to accompany their DIY ethos. Midnight Mass, the band's semi-regular club night, is a platform for Artists from all disciplines to showcase their latest work in East London's grassroots venues.
"Their sound is expansive, complex and progressive" - Louise Dodgson, Unsigned Guide
