2009, Sacred Bones Records

Vaguely circling in the A-Frames/Intelligence/Fruit Bats orbit, The Sistrum is Factums' full-length follow-up to last year's LP on the recently resurrected Siltbreeze label. Critics have compared Factums to Tronics, Cabaret Voltaire, or Pere Ubu's more chaotic moments, also citing some heavy Kraut influenced flashes.
