After receiving attention in 2006 for a track released on Advanced Electronics vol3, Faderhead was signed to Accession Records/Indigo and released his debut album "FH1". One year later, he followed up with his sophomore album "FH2".
In 2008, Faderhead parted ways with Accession Records and joined L-Tracks Recordings. On October 10th, the third Faderhead album, aptly titled "FH3" was released.

O/H Scavenger
Faderhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the water in
Uncontrolled, so much more
Like it's never been
Bend your back, caving in
Are you gonna break
Open cell private hell
Every sngle day
See myself as my walls fall
Look inside because I disintegrate
See myself as my walls fall
Locked inside with the O/H Scavenger
Cold and black, freezing air
Feel the deep inhale
Down and out, down and bound
All you have's for sale
Inner self walking out
Hard to recognize
Now you're drowning in my wake
Like a butterfly
The lyrics of Faderhead's song O/H Scavenger paint a picture of someone crumbling from within. The lines "dissipate at the gates, let the water in" speak to this person's descent into vulnerability, allowing themselves to be affected by the world around them. The line "bend your back, caving in, are you gonna break" speaks to the idea of being overwhelmed by the weight of the world and wondering whether one can withstand it all. The image of "open cell private hell every single day" further emphasizes this sense of confinement and despair.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea of the singer losing themselves as their walls fall. The metaphor of the O/H Scavenger represents something that is slowly consuming them from within. The darkness of the scavenger is palpable in the line "cold and black, freezing air, feel the deep inhale." The sense of desperation is further emphasized by the line "down and out, down and bound, all you have's for sale" as the singer feels like they have nothing left to offer.
Line by Line Meaning
Dissipate at the gates
I want to let go of all the pain and negativity as soon as I encounter it
Let the water in
I am ready to embrace the flow of emotions and experiences that come my way
Uncontrolled, so much more
It can be liberating to lose control and let things take their own course
Like it's never been
This newfound sense of freedom and liberation feels like something I've never experienced before
Bend your back, caving in
Under the weight of life's challenges, it can be difficult to stand upright and not give up
Are you gonna break
Despite trying to stay strong, it's hard to know if I will eventually break under the pressure
Open cell private hell
The internal turmoil and suffering I feel can be suffocating and difficult to express to others
Every single day
This is a daily battle I face and can't escape from
See myself as my walls fall
As I let go of my previous defenses and coping mechanisms, I see myself in a new light
Look inside because I disintegrate
I need to search within myself to find meaning and stability as everything else falls apart
Locked inside with the O/H Scavenger
I am trapped within myself and feel like scavenging for ways to survive
Cold and black, freezing air
The isolation and emptiness I feel is palpable
Feel the deep inhale
With each breath, I try to calm my mind and find peace
Down and out, down and bound
I feel defeated and stuck with no escape
All you have's for sale
Everything I have seems to be up for grabs, including my own sense of identity and worth
Inner self walking out
I feel like I'm losing pieces of myself and my true identity
Hard to recognize
I don't know who I am anymore
Now you're drowning in my wake
Those who didn't help me before are now feeling the consequences of my pain and suffering
Like a butterfly
Despite all the chaos and darkness, there's still the possibility of transformation and growth if I am willing to embrace it

Ein exzellenter Song. Ich (und nicht nur ich) wären an diesem Extended Remix von O/H Scavanger interessiert, der scheinbar nur für DJ's von Szene-Clubs und Radio Stationen zugänglich gemacht wurde. Schade. Ausserdem kenne ich bis auf Radio Rheinwelle und Radio Future 2 keinen einzigen auf UKW- empfangbaren Radiosender der Faderhead spielt - auch nicht wenn dafür Wünsche vorliegen. Insofern wäre es echt sinnvoller solche hochinteressanten 12inch-Versionen den Leuten zugänglich zu machen, die auch wirklich Interesse daran haben. Z.B. zum Download anbieten oder als MCD rauszubringen.
