Three Fact Fader by Engineers

Three Fact Fader is the second full-length studio album by British shoegazing band Engineers, released on 6 July 2009 through the Kscope label. The album was produced by the band along with Ken Thomas, who also worked with Sigur Rós, M83 and Maps, with artwork created by Tom Sheehan. To start promoting the record, the band played their first live gig in over two years on 10 July 2009 at the Bush Hall in London. They were joined onstage by special guest Ulrich Schnauss (who would later join Engineers as a full-time member). Richard Barbieri of British progressive rock group Porcupine Tree also performed that night. The Three Fact Fader minisite was set up by Kscope containing information about the album. A single for "Clean Coloured Wire" was released on 20 July 2009, and a video clip for the song was released through the minisite to accompany the single. The minisite also includes an excerpt of a remix of the song "Sometimes I Realise" by British musician, record producer, and Kscope label founder Steven Wilson. The entire album was available for streaming through the website of NME.
