about

Face the Brutality (first released in 2018) was the first proper Datarock studio album since the massive 2009 success "Red", and marked a new era in both the music, which became grittier and more outspoken than before - and in their signature tracksuits, which changed from red to black.

The influences, of which there are always plenty with Datarock, fluctuate between a Talking Heads call-and-response on “Sense of Reason,” to some Daft Punk inspired instrumental sections - but all unmistakenly Datarock.
