‘The Weaker We Are’ by Future Faces

They appeared out of nowhere (at least for me), Future Faces, who introduced themselves to us with ‘The Weaker We Are’, and did so very impressively. Post-punk of the finest kind, pure underground sound and excellent. 

Inner conflicts and the decision to take an active stance in difficult times were made the theme. No time to lose and facing up to the given challenges is demanded. The repeated call to choose noise, flames, and anger symbolizes determination and courage. 

The metaphors ‘flames and ashes’ and ‘a life that is too short’ emphasize the transience and fragility of life, and the comparison with the father points to a self-reflective realization. ‘The Weaker We Are’ conveys a strong message about making the best of a short and often difficult life and does so in the finest darkwave twist. 

Equipped with the melancholy of Joy Division and the openness of Depeche Mode, they march into eternal darkness. ‘The Weaker We Are’, a musical treat from the Future Faces, is just one track from the great album “Memoria”. Definitely a must listen!
