New Life Awaits You (Patreon)

A long lost experiment from the San Jose era! Dev and I put this together pretty quick at OPS HQ mark one right around when the band started. We always meant to develop and rerecord it but it never happened. I love the weird string patches and the raw single oscillator bass arps on this. Sam added a rattling hi hat overdub and some truly whacked out toms. The glitchy "solo" is actually the pads being fed into a moog delay pedal that's time synced to midi clock divisions...which keeps it in key. There's also...New Order bass??  Thematically we were hitting one of our favorite obsessions/topics of conversation: California Suburbs as Interstellar Colony. Baking under the blue sky, temporary structures, shuttling from place to place.  "New Life" to me was whatever you found there for yourself and the environment shaping you into a New Organism, one built to sustain your psyche in a strange new world.

Much love to you all...see at least some of you tonight for LIFEFORCE
