Album Notes & Community Reviews

Faraquet's only full-length release, 'The View From This Tower', is a masterclass in energetic, highly technical math rock and post-hardcore. The trio weaves complex, uncommon time signatures with surprisingly melodic, progressive songwriting, defining the late-era Dischord sound.
