Earlier today, FaltyDL debuted “Heart & Soul”  from his epic new album In The Wild alongside the third video in the “In The Wild” video project. Shot on location at the legendary London club Plastic People, the video is the the latest entry in FaltyDL’s collaboration with British artist Chris Shen examining the spatial and technological reproduction of sound and video. Watch the clip here. Viewers of their short films are encouraged to film their screens as they watch and upload the result to the “In The Wild” video timeline at http://faltydl.com/inthewild, as such taking FaltyDL’s music out into the wild.

His most profoundly personal and honest record to date, In The Wild will be released on August 12th via Ninja Tune. Over the summer, FaltyDL will tour Japan, Europe and the U.S. Full tour dates below.

Drew Lustman, aka FaltyDL, was born and grew up in New Haven, Connecticut. These days he lives in Brooklyn, New York. Releasing music for Planet Mu, Ramp, Rush Hour, 50 Weapons, Hemlock, Swamp81, his own Blueberry Records imprint and, of course, Ninja Tune, he has recorded three albums prior to In the Wild (Love Is A Liability, You Stand Uncertain andHardcourage). He has also toured with James Blake; opened for Radiohead; and remixed for the likes of Seun Kuti, Photek, The xx and Disclosure.

FaltyDL has also released a companion poem for the album, reprinted below:

“In The Wild”

Upon a mountaintop in Port Lligat I found my true love.
We wrapped each other Uptight
never will I forget so much regret.
Never apologize.

Do Me is truth is progress is death is pain is boredom is sex is dance is silence is void.
Nine is eternal stream is people is family is anger is fight is father is not all.
Heart & Soul is female is more anger is ignorance is blisters on sun soaked lips.
Greater Antilles is two parts masculine one part crystalline structures.
Ahead the Ship Sleeps in Danger is Grief resolved through Rolling in New Haven.
Dos Gardenias para ti.
Frontin
Never apologize.

Post-stroke vernacular, insult to salt intake fake injury to resume sideline spectatorship.
Strained precision, illegal decision and fat masterbatorial visions.
Vapid vaper-what never signed up, tell a lie, till the day I die.
Never apologize.

Ghost written by Shanghai Den,

Very best, Falty

PS. Sorry
