Release Notes:
"This band is making electronic music relevant again, and people from all over
Peaceblaster, the long awaited follow-up to Sound Tribe Sector 9's Artifact,
hits stores July 8. It is a clarion call from a band that thrives on friction.
"America is this beautiful, incredible place, but it has a dark underbelly,"
bassist David Murphy says. "And even on Peaceblaster's most ethereal songs,
there's a darkness that reflects what's going on in society - it ain't all bad,
but it ain't all good."
"Music measures the temperature of the people," adds guitarist Hunter Brown.
"Consumerism and the corporate media have taken us all down the path of
cynicism, apathy, and nihilism. If the message on the new record is anything,
it's to blast that shit."
Armed with a batch of song ideas and fueled by the tension of the times, the
band (which in addition to Brown and Murphy, features percussionist Jeffree
Lerner, keyboardist David Phipps and Zach Velmer on drums) took a break from
their masochistic touring schedule and holed up in their recording studio,
determined to make the strongest album of their career. "The last few records,
it felt like we were learning on the job," says Murphy, "but the new record is
the job."
"Beyond Right Now," the 2nd single from their forthcoming album is currently
streaming free here, where you can also check out the first single, "Shock
Doctrine."
Ultimately, STS9 knows that they are just a band, playing songs. No more, no
less. But they also understand music's power as a cultural force. They know that
friction can be a catalyst for change. And even though they can't literally
blast peace into our consciousness, they can carve out a musical space where new
ideas might take hold.
"That's what music is: a never-ending conversation between strangers. We need
this conversation to help us understand the world and our place in it."
