It started in Brooklyn, NYC ’06. Apprentices of dejection Thorben Seierø Jensen and Sune Sølund were wandering around the raw winter-y streets, shooting the breeze, brushing on alcoholism. They came across a huge neon cross above a building sign-posted as The Apostolic Faith Mission. Identifying with its aim to withstand an empty existence, they named their band – Alcoholic Faith Mission… the similarities in belief were clear.
Three months later, the debut ‘Misery Loves Company’ was ready. Rules for the album’s recording process, defined that it had to take place at night, by candlelight and the influence of alcohol must infuse their muse – all done in a tiny bedroom in Copenhagen. The critics said sweet things, José Gonzales and Iron and Wine-ry they said. Shortly after, the duo turned into a collective for all their friends to join.

Two years later, back in Brooklyn The Alcoholic Faith Mission isolated themselves in an old factory loft at 421 Wythe Avenue. They tried on a selection of straightjackets for the inspiration. Everything used to make the music, had to be found within the loft’s four walls… dictionaries were beaten against each other and led through electronics to make a muted bass drum. This way of working turned into a second album; named after the street where they lived ‘421 Wythe Avenue’.

After three European Tours in 2009 and new deals in Japan and USA, The Alcoholic Faith Mission are back to present their third album ‘Let This Be The Last Night We Care’. Continuing with influences from bands such as Broken Social Scene, Iron And Wine and Bon Iver. They will be touring thoroughly throughout 2010.
