"Lie in Lies", the first single form FAZI's 2017 album Heart of Desire, will be released on June 27. The song was recorded in Dalian's Echo Books, with Wang Wen guitarist Xie Yugang featured on the recording. The composition of "Lie in Lies" is a bit different from FAZI's previous work: the band explored different styles, expanding from their core post-punk influence to explore a richer set of possibilities.
The song's lyrics are about the struggle of the self against the passage of time, craving hope in the plight, reaching peace through anger; it's about pondering and questioning the torrent of our contemporary times and society.

The Fuzz are an astonishing live band, whose shows create real euphoria, and I'm sorry to say that this album does not capture it at all! But I got it for the songs. Danny Abbasi
Tightly wound post-punk with splashes of new wave; heavy on twangy riffs, phased-out melodies, and understated vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2023
Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2017
A very fine release from this Chinese group. The title track is very epic in nature with a beautiful melody line whilst This's The Feeling is more uptempo and has a slightly darker feel about it Gavin Hellyer
