This 2007 album captures Fiinky Pie at their most raw and uncompromising, showcasing a deliberate move away from the more polished sound of their previous work. The record is notable for its stark production and the band's visceral lyrical themes.
- "Rust" was recorded over a tumultuous six-week period in a disused warehouse in East London. The album was self-released after a disagreement with their previous label. It peaked at number 47 on the UK Independent Album Chart.
- The lead single, "Shattered Glass," received moderate airplay on alternative radio stations despite its abrasive sound. Glastonbury Festival staged a special late-night set for the band in June 2007 to promote the album.
- "Rust" is often cited by critics as a key influence on the lo-fi rock movement that gained traction in the late 2000s. The album was reissued in 2015 with two previously unreleased B-sides.
Fiinky Pie is a rock band from London, England, best known for their experimental approach to indie rock. At the time of "Rust"'s release, they were considered pioneers of the UK's post-punk revival scene.
