Fahri, Fuck Knights, and Sonic J at Circle-A Cafe
On 2010’s Perfect Present, Milwaukee’s Fahri makes a compelling case for tuneful noise and controlled chaos. Fronted by husband-and-wife duo Miles Murray and Sarah Long, the group can clearly trace its distorted lineage back to Sonic Youth, though a knack for deceptive vocal hooks sets Fahri apart from the rest of the noise-drone pack. Long’s ghostly croon stands out on tracks “U R Razor” and “White Loafers,” while Murray anchors the terrifically catchy “Fields, Factories, And Workshops.” Fuck Knights, meanwhile, have a wonderful name, good enough to join the ranks of bands like Awesome Snakes, Droids Attack, and Mad Trucker Gone Mad, who all now happen to be labelmates. Contrary to the band’s mystifying moniker, its music is straight to the point, and is nothing short of blistering, blown-out rock ’n’ roll.
