Mac Miller serves as the executive producer under his production pseudonym 'Larry Fisherman', serving as the sole producer or co-producer for over half of the songs on the track list. The mixtape features guest appearances from Rick Ross, Earl Sweatshirt, Schoolboy Q, Mike Jones, Sir Michael Rocks, Vince Staples, Ab-Soul and Dash.įaces was named 'Mixtape of the Week' by Stereogum on May 14, 2014, given a 7.3 rating by Pitchfork, and noted by Billboard on May 11, 2014.

It continues to build upon and experiment with the psychedelic sounds of Watching Movies with the Sound Off. Its jazziness is not a departure from Miller's previous work, as it echoes the project he released under the alias Larry Lovestein titled You that was also centered around jazz instrumentals. Miller produced most of Faces himself and moved towards creating more psychedelic and jazzy instrumentals for his increasingly dark lyrical themes. On October 15, 2021, Faces was commercially released on streaming platforms and vinyl. The mixtape is the follow-up to Miller's second studio album Watching Movies with the Sound Off (2013), and is considered by many to be his magnum opus for its dark and personal exploration of Miller's struggle with drug addiction and mental illness. It was independently released for free download on May 11, 2014.

Faces is the eleventh mixtape by American rapper Mac Miller.
