The 2000 album "Faust" finds Current 93 operating in a more abstract, experimental space, eschewing the neofolk sound for which they became known. The album showcases a sparser, more unsettling atmosphere, relying on tape loops and stark instrumentation.
- Recorded in London, "Faust" was released by David Tibet's own Durtro Records.
- The album features guest appearances from Michael Cashmore and Ben Chasny.
- Contemporary reviews noted the album's bleak and abstract sonic palette, a departure from some of Current 93's more song-oriented work.
Current 93 is the long-running, highly prolific project of David Tibet, centered in experimental, apocalyptic neofolk and industrial music. This 2000 album arrived after a period of significant stylistic shifts and prior to a series of more accessibly melodic records.
