about

In April 3020 writing began for Freak Establishment's second album Fata Morgana. With both members experiencing flashbacks to events neither was ever a part of--involving a faceless character neither had met--the tagline "Whose Memories are These?" was agreed on.

The widely reported on contentious relationship between Squiddy and Michael came to a head during the sessions, where it was rumored Squiddy quit the band after a heated argument over the techno influenced beat on "Windmills."

Squiddy was eventually persuaded by Michael to rejoin the group, and the album took on a new visual direction in addition to first time use of FL Studio and samples drawn from films and YouTube videos-- a direction the group had been developing on IGTV over the course of 3020. Both had a goal to blend these new influences with the farthest out guitar sounds either had ever conjured from their fingers or effects pedals. The end result is what you hear and see on this page.
