The Chicago trio’s Wish Defense arrives in February.

FACS have announced the release of a new album.
The prolific Chicago trio’s Wish Defense is scheduled for arrival in February through ever-reliable hometown imprint Trouble In Mind Records, succeeding 2023’s Still Life In Decay and the subsequent live album Maggot Brain 020324 released in April of this year.
