Fade/Form (The Bunker Tapes) is a live document of The Sick Man Of Europe’s evolution from the studio to the stage.

It follows the Moderate Air Quality EP and the eponymous debut album and is accompanied by a full-length performance video.

It is released as a 4-track digital mini-album, and as a limited edition 5-track cassette. The Sick Man Of Europe will tour the UK and Europe in October and November 2025 (see below) In this summer of discontent, The Sick Man Of Europe meet in secret in a room beneath a factory on a hill. Crushed by the weight of brick and steel, and consumed by the relentless hunger for progress - here to document change. It’s an escape from the city and from the history unfolding in front of our eyes. These times are transient and our ideals are called into question at every juncture. Five bodies stand in this room. An engineer and three operatives. They look towards the foreman. The spokesperson. For guidance and clarity where there is none. A mechanical clank and the whir of magnetic tape. A voice from the depths.
