FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The industrial music artist known as
Frequency Divider has released his latest EP record, titled,
“Retribution.” The album is comprised of six original Frequency
Divider tracks for an approximate listening time of half an hour,
making “Retribution” a comprehensive treatment of his repertoire
that easily approaches the depth of a full-length release. It is his
most significant official release under the Frequency Divider name.
“Retribution”
by Frequency Divider is categorized variously as electronic,
industrial, darkwave, and post-punk music, but most commonly as EBM
(not to be confused with EDM). EBM is a subgenre of music with
elements of post-industrial music, electronic dance music, and what
is sometimes referred to as “synthpunk.” It is extremely
danceable, often very intellectual music, both of which attributes
are exemplified well by Frequency Divider's “Retribution.” The
album is heavy-hitting, healthy music for both the listener's mind
and the dancer's body.
Frequency Divider himself cites Decoded
Feedback and yelworC as “similar” to his own sound, but has said
on many occasions that he is “primarily influenced by movie
directors, such as Neil Breen, Coleman Francis, etc.”
Speaking candidly about his work on
“Retribution,” the DC / Virginia-based artist writes, “The last
album I published (under a different pseudonym and band name) was
released in 2003. Over the years, I continued to write but didn’t
publish anything. I’m really liking some of the newest material I’m
writing, but to do so, I feel as though I should release my archived
material that never made it to the light of day.”
This archived material was written
between 2003 and 2013, and includes more than 200 minutes' worth of
Frequency Divider music. Fans new and old, therefore, have more than
a few lucky stars to thank.
While FD's lyrics are carefully penned
and often discuss social and political issues, he insists that his
aims are musical at heart.
“I don’t have any particular
messages,” he writes, “and the project as a whole is sort of one
giant meta joke than no one is likely to understand.”
Don't believe him. Fans of industrial
and EBM music all over the world will grok “Retribution” better
than a gourmand understands silverware.
“Retribution” by Frequency Divider
is available online worldwide beginning 19 September 2013.
