THE ARMED: ad aprile il nuovo album “Ultrapop”

Tornano a farsi sentire i The Armed e lo fanno annunciando un nuovo album, a tre anni di distanza dall’ultimo “Only Love“. “Ultrapop” uscirà il 16 aprile per Sargent House.

Il disco è il primo, del collettivo “anonimo”, ad essere co-prodotto dal chitarrista Dan Greene assieme a Ben Chisolm (Chelsea Wolfe) e vedrà la partecipazione speciale di Mark Lanegan e Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens Of The Stone Age, ex-A Perfect Circle). Kurt Ballou invece, che ha prodotto tutti i precedenti album del gruppo, funge da produttore esecutivo.

Greene parla così del lavoro:

Crafting vital art means presenting the audience with new and intriguing tensions—sonically, visually, conceptually. Over time and through use, those tensions become less novel and effective—and they become expectations. The concept of “subgenre” becomes almost the antithesis of vitality in art—itself a fetishization of expectation. ULTRAPOP seeks, in earnest, to create a truly new listener experience. It is an open rebellion against the culture of expectation in “heavy” music. It is a joyous, genderless, post-nihilist, anti-punk, razor-focused take on creating the most intense listener experience possible. It’s the harshest, most beautiful, most hideous thing we could make.
