This week we’re discussing every album by both Faraquet and Medications. If you’re a fan of Ian Mackaye’s Dischord Records and haven’t heard these guys, you’re in luck. Both bands were formed by multi-instrumentalists Devin Ocampo and Chad Molter in the late 90s. While Faraquet and Medications are distinct from each other, both bands are mathy, proggy, beautiful, and always exciting. Great stuff that we wish we could’ve heard sooner.
Closing track: “The Whole Thing Over” from Anthology 1997-98 (2008)
