Faulty Cognitions formed following Chris Mason's relocation from Portland, OR to San Antonio, TX. He hooked up with bassist and long-term buddy Yole Centeno (Nocturnal Prose, Sacred Games, and other San Antonio punk favorites). Having racked up a CV including Shang-A-Lang and Low Culture, Mason was keen to get things up and running with a new band as soon as possible. Guitarist Nick Obregon (also of Nocturnal Prose, Eastern Condors) and Mike Nira (of Sunjammer) were soon added to the lineup, and one swiftly recorded demo later, the newly cemented foursome began work on what would become 'Somehow, Here We Are', their debut album, to be released on April 12, 2024. Mason originally had visions of shooting for the middle ground between the perfect jangle of early R.E.M. and the roughshod Dunedin sound of The Clean and The Bats. The end result is something totally different, but those roots of melodic inspiration still poke through; just add the scorching brilliance of the band members' individual past glories and the end results often feel closer to the heart-on-sleeve raggedness of 'Tim'-era Replacements. Yes, a lot of beat combos draw comparisons to the Minneapolis antiheroes, often erroneously, but trust me on this one. It's a sound and a vibe thing.
