Single/Video: RIGHT HERE NOW IN TIME
The first shared piece the upcoming album, named Einsteinium Delirium
to be released on Friday, June 7. Pre-order info here
Curvey about the album: “Einsteinium is a highly unstable element that was discovered
in the debris after the first hydrogen bomb explosion. Using it in the title eventually compelled me to research and write about characters and events relating to atomic bombs, a thoroughly depressing subject. The infamous key scientist involved in developing the first atom bomb, had deep spiritual interests and in some interviews had made references to the Bhagavad Gita, which I was able to use for more positive, psychedelic inspiration.”
Album artwork
“I tried to use the imagery I’d learned about in my research somewhat abstractly because
I didn’t want the lyrics to be dark and depressing, or even obvious. It’s a facticious tale. My
own version of our collective insanity. My hope is that it might inspire the listener to do some research of their own on the subject of nuclear bombs to see how many have been detonated already, which is staggering. Maybe read some eye witness accounts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, if you have the stomach for it, or learn about real false alarms that
have had the world on the brink of nuclear war.”
TUTV about ‘Right Here Now In Time’: Expect a jagged jackhammer with psychotic guitars having a fight, front and back, bashing percussion and agitated vocals. The track explodes from the get-go and storms full steam ahead. Its neurotic course and fearful lyrics predict danger. Devastating nuclear threats are right here, in time. It’s almost the end of the world as we know it, and it doesn’t feel fine.
