THE FAIM – State of Mind

State of Mind

Album Review by Lloyd Wakeling

“With A Twist And A Smile”
Music at its essence, must always, in my humble opinion, be fun and The Faim and their new album State of Mind stick to that adage perfectly. Rock that takes itself too seriously can sometimes be a little patronising to say the least, so it is always good to get back to the basics of what music is all about, guitars, keyboards, drums and someone who can sing a bit. This collection of tracks never ventures from its premise and delivers an easy listening, foot tapping array of well produced songs that openly spout that desire to just enjoy the simplicity of music, without any hidden agenda. Heavily influenced by the American rock of the noughties and beyond, this album still manages to add a nuance to those reflections with a twist and a smile that is cleverly modern yet subtle and careful. The more you listen, the more you find in this album and for me it delivered on its promise that all it is, is a State of Mind.
