Press-release via Yahoo for the new album:
Some interesting nuggets:
The sextet says it tracked and discarded multiple versions of what became Alien Metal before finally discovering the project’s identity during an hour-long late-night improvisation. Every song on the finished record grew from that single jam in the key of F#.

“‘Sapience’ is this pulsating techno neo-rave thing,” [Joey] continues. “The other tracks go to such weird, interesting places. ‘Level 5’ is early Prodigy and early hardcore jungle, and ‘Superheavy’ is heading towards house, while ‘Kill for the Steel’ feels like weird IDM, with some heavy Miami Bass in there.”

I just love how KGLW has given me an excuse to dive into new genres that I may not otherwise explore or maybe know only 1-2 artists.
Have fallen into a lot of downtempo/abstract/ambient electronica over the last 10-15 years, but KGLW has opened the door into the dance/club side of electronic music, big time.
Wish I knew more about what separates the various techno subgenres that Joey references… time to dust off some of my old Prodigy, etc, albums and get listening.

Wow what a gritty aesthetic. At first I expected Ambrose to pop out of the alien costume and start rapping, but by the end even the other band members looked out of place as the orderlies. The song is rad, correct me if I’m wrong but it’s way more composed and produced than anything that has come straight out of the synth table previously right?
Ambrose is the obvious choice to play the alien. Maybe it is him!

I wonder if the Eccentrica Gallumbits reference in the alien design was intentional…
