Download Stoic Man here!

When you think of stoicism, entertainment generally doesn’t follow right? We’ll it sure as hell does if FAUT HAUT have anything to do with it. Today we bring to you the music video for ‘Stoic Man’, from FAUT HAUT’s debut album, ‘FAUT HAUT is FAUT HAUT‘. For this one, frontman Joep Bollinger teamed up with Stillman director Max Westendorp to bring his vision to fruition, and the guys fucking nailed it…

The imagery captured in this video is a perfect representation of the bands collection of washboards, driving bass lines, and an organ sound that you could find in a circus tent… It’s an unusual mix, sure, but it’s that clash of the old, the weird, and the funky that truly shows off the band’s unique sound.

The brainchild of Joep Bollinger, Faut Haut released their debut album back in September last year, and have refused to be defined by one genre ever since. Largely pieced together from a series of jams with star players Marnix Dorrestein (IX), Pyke Pasman (Jungle by Night) and Roosbeef drummer Tim van Oosten. The album swings from macabre to experimental and back again, all the time flowing with abstract yet vivid lyrics. So go ahead, place FAUT HAUT in a box and watch them work their way out of it. Or, stay here, soak in this new clip, and then head over to the boys’ bandcamp to make up your own mind – you’ll be entertained either way!

P.s, we’ve also got a great live version of this track recorded at Pablo van de Poel’s Electrosaurus Southern Sound Studio’s from back in September..!
