Harnessing a sound that utilizes elements of electro, pop, industrial and ambient with a quirky sense of addictive rhythm, Fektion Fekler has been pushing the envelope of electronic music for over a decade. Their sound is danceable, yet cannot really be categorized at all. There are simply some bands that can only be labeled as themselves, and that is one of the most rare honors in this age of oft-copycat music. Brothers John and Robert Bustamante formed Fektion Fekler in 1989. They have appeared on many compilations, including the first of the Elektrauma series. Early in their career, they released a full-length cassette entitled ""Distressed Tension"" on SPH Records and an EP called ""Soul Assassin"" on Bright Green Records. After many years of hiding out, Fektion Fekler finally reappeared in early 1996 with more compilation work, and the long-awaited debut CD on Pendragon Records, ""From Here to Heaven"", which was released to critical acclaim both domestically and internationally...a CD composed of almost a decade of work. Fektion Fekler returned in late 1998 with their second album, “Kling Klang Bedlam”, which traded many of the hardcore industrial dance for more melodic, layered songs detailing love, loss, and in the end, hope and energy. From the beautiful ballads like “Unconditional Surrender” and “Maker Make Believe” to ultra-energetic dancefloor fillers like “Dowser That Couldn’t Dowse” and “Limpic”, the CD is one of those few with no filler at all. Every song lends itself to one another, making a sonic tapestry of sound with no equal in both emotion and melody. Also, unlike a lot of electro and industrial groups out there, they make no sacrifice of the fun and playful elements in their sound. ""Kling Klang Bedlam"" earned them a cult following, but they soon fell off the map...or so it seemed... In the summer of 2004, Fektion Fekler teamed up with Static Sky Records to release ""Into The Sun"", their first new album in six years! The brothers are back with a vengeance, offering an album that both appeals to fans of their older industrial style, as well as branches out to different audiences. Fektion Fekler is on top of their game after all these years! Now, with a style incorporating newfound acoustic elements, the sound of Fektion Fekler has gone even further ahead of its peers. Songs for the dance floors and songs for the heart, Fektion Fekler has something to offer anyone. Their sound is pure addiction and energy, now get caught up in the wave! You can currently purchase the new album ""Into The Sun"" at Metropolis Mailorder.
