Falty DL savo debiutinį albumą Love is a Liability išleido dar 2009-ais metais. Jo kuriamo dubstepą paįvairina tai, kad jis nėra britas – Love is a Liability yra niujorkietiška dubstepo interpretacija.
Dabar, praėjus beveik dvejiems metams, Falty DL paruošė savo antrąjį albumą pavadinimu You Stand Uncertain, jį vėl leidžia Planet Mu, ir visa tai jau greitai, kovo 28-ąją (rašau apie tai šiandien, nes pagal preliminarią informaciją, pateiktą anksčiau, albumas turėjo pasirodyti prekyboje būtent šiandien, tačiau šiuo metu Planet Mu savo puslapyje išleidimo datą įvardiją kaip kovo 28-ąją):

02. The Pacifist
03. Open Space
04. Brazil (feat. Lily McKenzie)
05. Eight Eighteen Ten
06. It’s All Good
07. You Stand Uncertain
08. Lucky Luciano
09. Voyager
10. Tell Them Stories
11. Play With My Heart
12. Waited Patiently (feat. Lily McKenzie)
Patys Planet Mu atstovai savo oficialiame puslapyje albumą aprašo taip:
“Things have evolved a lot on “You Stand Uncertain”. From the very beginning the listener is plunged into his new focus on layered dusty atmospheres. Opener “Gospel Of Opal (ft. Anneka)” is also his first work with a vocalist.
Although at times it’s anchored in the familiar basslines and rhythm science of uk dance, as heard in his previous material, on this album it’s clear that Drew has been soaking up some of his native city’s musical past such as disco, house and hip hop. With this in mind the album moves at different tempos, the ghosts of dance music past are evoked but never allowed to take over, giving the whole album a decayed, dreamy abstraction that allows for comparisons with the current crop of ‘chillwave’ producers, were it not for the tight drums and basslines. Check the way “The Pacifist” moves between passages of melody and waves of synth over distorted breaks, or “Open Space’s” use of slowed down rave euphoria and double speed 808 drums.
The crisp 2-step of “Brazil”, the first of two songs featuring UK-based singer Lily McKenzie sweetens the atmosphere, followed by “Eight Eighteen Ten” which builds watery melodies over chopped up breaks. The album gets slower still with the steamy, bittersweet melodies of “It’s All Good”. The spaced out “You Stand Uncertain” marks a mid-point and a breathing space, before the album gears up with the ravey synths and jungle percussion of “Lucky Luciano”, the slow burning stripped down house of “Voyager” into the duo of abstract 2-step tracks “Tell Them Stories” and “Play with my Heart” before the tempo drops for the ultimate track “Waited Patiently (ft. Lily McKenzie)” which combines her chopped vocals with jazzy piano keys and a punchy technoid melody.”
Taigi, visas albumas jau šio mėnesio pabaigoje, o kol kas galima klausyti visų kūrinių ištraukas Planet Mu puslapyje ir žiūrėti pirmojo albumo singlo klipą:
Be to, Falty DL pateikė ir mixtape’ą pavadinimu Stands Certain, kuriame suburti labiausiai jį įtakoję atlikėjai ir kūriniai. Visai tai čia.
