May 7, 2016Andy Stott maintains what he has created in his previous album, Luxury Problems, but this time he focuses even more on ambient industrial sounds and rhythms. Though fantastically produced, the record may seem a bit claustrophobic or excessively charged or oppressed at times to be fully enjoyed.

Nov 22, 2014The sounds are perfectly blended and layered in the Manchester producer's album. Absolute IDM perfection. Best tracks are Damage and Violence. One of the best IDM albums of the last 10 years.

Dec 2, 2014absolutely stunning album, contender for album of the year and should be in all the top lists for 2014 imo.
it's a fantastic progression from his very good last lp "luxury problems". on faith in strangers he has diversified his sound and taken it in different directions with amazing results.
brooding, chilling, emotional and blissful. -

Jan 5, 2015There are no phony builds, no bass dropping, no obvious patterns. Faith in Strangers keeps listeners on their toes, and keeps their head nodding the whole time.
