faUSt with Ernsthafte Angelegenheiten

faUSt is a German krautrock band. Formed in 1971 in Wümme, the group was originally composed of Werner “Zappi” Diermaier, Hans Joachim Irmler, Arnulf Meifert, Jean-Hervé Péron, Rudolf Sosna and Gunther Wüsthoff, working with record producer Uwe Nettelbeck and engineer Kurt Graupner. faUSt has recorded a new album. It is entitled “Fresh Air” and differs in several respects from its predecessor “Just Us”, from the year 2014. At the time, the recordings were made at Péron’s rehearsal studio in Schiphorst in northern Germany, hypnotic pieces with the kind of noisemaking the band is known for. For the new album, Péron and Diermaier were looking for communication with musician friends and the audience.
