Album Review: Factory Floor - Factory Floor

Album Review: Factory Floor - Factory Floor

"The moniker Factory Floor goes even further into describing their sound, as you can easily imagine yourself standing on a factory floor while the music is playing, sounding like a large, well-run industrial behemoth of a machine chugging, hissing and creating all around you. The atmospheric whirrs and hums that haunt the album describe a gargantuan mechanism, and the mostly unintelligible manipulated vocals could be attributed to its workforce."
