Patch by Fayzz
ABOUT PATCH
In these times,
people champion the technological singularity, intelligence, innovation, and breakthroughs.
Yet in this so-called glorious era,
the self-media messages that flood our ears and eyes are littered with ads and rumors — stuffing our bodies with pre-made food, elongating limbs with image-editing software, masking faces with lighting.
We lose ourselves in the internet, hiding our true selves, sharing, venting, opposing, and slandering.
We outsource every judgment and decision to artificial intelligence, then obediently follow its answers—turning ourselves into mere tools.
People desperately seek their unique identity in this digital world, only to end up molded into uniformity by algorithms.
We lie tangled in a web of over 60 billion digital media messages every day, chasing freedom, reveling in our so-called future...
Sometimes tomorrow is hope, but hope can also be a trap.
We want to use familiar musical notes to gather strength and share it with you—like resisting adversarial attacks, to paralyze those eyes that seek to format you, refusing to be easily framed, recognized, or defined.
We should weave together the future and the past in our own way,
staying awake and focused.
*Patch* is Fayzz’s third full-length album, completed over seven months in Chengdu.
The inspirations for the tracks span from 2017 to 2025, with each song originally conceived as a reflection on the unknown.
The spoken-word segment in the track *Hollow* is sourced from an interview with anime director Mamoru Oshii in his documentary *Giving Form to Delusions*, which was then re-recorded and reprocessed.
In this album, we’ve ventured into many new experiments—from timbre and arrangement to style. Fayzz will always evolve and iterate in their own rhythm.
We hope every listener can glimpse the visions and meanings woven into the notes and rhythms,
and that this offering might mend your uncertainties,
helping you reclaim your true self
in the long tomorrow.
Released on August 28, 2025.
