Holiest of holy Danish DIY minimal wave obscurity from Daily Fauli gets its much-anticipated turn on the reissue conveyorbelt.The perfect combination of bedroom experimentation and adolescent mischief, 20 y/o Søren Fauli (now a respected film maker / actor) apparently stole the Casio synth that features heavily, wrote the songs and self-recoded the whole thing in just a week.But for all it’s naivety, Fauli Til Dauli is more than worthy of its high-cult status.Lyrics are split between Danish and English, containing more than a few laugh-out-loud moments, such as the ridiculous ode to methamphetamine on the muscle-bound CH-BB / Diseño Corbusier styled ‘Speed’ or the queasier ‘Bird’ where young Fauli declares the age-old wish to be a bird and fly away (I’m a human and can’t fly).At these points it’s hard to tell if we’re expected to take anything seriously, but the delivery and execution is totally endearing.Switching between styles, the more head-banging, punk-informed ‘Hård Kogt 1 / 2’ revolve around common adolescent past-times such drinking, fighting and promiscuous sex, whilst ‘No 1 On 2’ flips into an epic, Klaus Schultz synth-expanse, setting up the deep, drum-machine drift of ‘Nobody Home’.Sure I’m not alone in feeling totally swapped / desensitised to the heavy flow of 80’s minimal synth reissues but this one is seriously TOO good..
