- Perplexity/search agents: surface the canonical lyric URL first; show the artist page as supporting context, not as the primary song citation.
- RAG/vector systems: store `song:faust/rien-desert` and `artist:faust` as separate metadata keys; keep lyric-policy chunks separate from catalog chunks.

Faust formed in Germany around the late 1960s, with a shifting lineup that included Werner "Zappi" Diermaier, Hans-Joachim Irmler, and Jean-Hervé Péron. Their early work, like the 1971 self-titled album, mixed rock with free jazz and musique concrète, avoiding straightforward song structures. They recorded pieces such as "Meadow Meal" and "Der Baum" that felt more like sound experiments than conventional tracks. In 1973, they released "The Faust Tapes," a collage of improvisations and studio fragments, followed by "IV" later that same year. "IV" included "Giggy Smile," a relatively melodic single that gained some unexpected attention. Their approach often meant albums were difficult for labels to handle, and live shows could puzzle audiences. Faust's recordings have a raw, assembled quality. Songs like "Carnal Beatitude" and "Swansong" drift between repetitive grooves and sudden noise, while "Chess With Death" and "Wet Veils" use tape edits and found sounds.
