Fiat Lux return with Desire & Belief, their third album of new material this millennium, following their acclaimed comeback LPs Saved Symmetry and Twisted Culture. The trio – Steve Wright, Will Howard, and David P Crickmore – combine modern production with vintage synths and instruments rooted in their Polydor-era beginnings to craft ten tracks that span cinematic atmospheres, synth-pop anthems, and moody electronica. Tracks like “Clear Sky” and “Turn Me Around” offer hook-laden synth-pop, while “Summer Solstice” and “Am I Dreaming” delve into ambient and darker tones. Desire & Belief is a natural progression for Fiat Lux – retaining the spirit of their 1980s Northern roots in synth, goth, and indie, yet confidently stepping into new sonic territory – for long-time fans and new listeners alike.

The original band which included the late Ian Nelson had passionate support from Annie Nightingale and other BBC Radio 1 DJs such as Peter Powell, Janice Long and Kid Jenson, and TV appearances including the Old Grey Whistle Test back in the 80’s, and there was a dedicated hour long Channel 4 special, many people were left wondering why the act imploded before reaching the full potential the media had predicted for them but now they have the chance to put this right.
