The Fabric started
as a studio project in mid-2004. Songwriter/recording artist Jeremy
Frank and vocalist Joe Sikes (both formerly of Atlanta-based rock
group ODK ) were seeking to complete
a body of work three years in the making. To achieve that goal,
they collaborated with Sharaab,
an Atlanta-based producer and studio technician.
Working at Maze Studios, the trio proceeded to complete their backlog
of songs. Soon the working partnership grew as Sharaab
became fully integrated with The Fabric, contributing his elegant
production style to refine the well-crafted songwriting of Jeremy
and Joe. In addition to producing and remixing the earlier material,
the newly-formed band began writing new tracks as well as collaborating
on Sharaab's latest album
Evolution.
The result of this effort is The Fabric's
debut full-length album, titled "Man
Vs. Prototype". The 12 song record encompasses
the best that electronic-based music has to offer, with finely textured
constructs, nuanced-yet-danceable beats, and heart-rending lyrics.
Although arrangements vary from symphonic-fuelled breakbeats to
delicate ambient excursions, The Fabric never breaks
from the emotionally charged songwriting at its core, recalling
the height of 80's synth-pop bands without ever reverting to retro-hysterics,
like so many of their contemporaries.
