FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The singer, songwriter and producer
known as Strange Anthem has released his latest album, “EP Volume
1.” The album is comprised of three original tracks, “Forsaken
Love,” “Dreamer,” and “Juggler” for an approximate total
listening time of 13 minutes. A partly rocking, partly grooving
record with dark undertones and an industrial heart, “EP Volume 1”
is one of the most intriguing alternative albums of 2014 so far.
Strange Anthem cites as main artistic
influences Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Pet Shop Boys,
Depeche Mode, New Order, Michael Jackson, Beastie Boys, Genesis, Jeff
Wayne, and The Cure. Of these, the EP draws mainly from the more
shadowy elements. Bass lines and percussion are prominent, and even
accentuated by blithely rakish hip-hop vocals on “Juggler.”
Strange Anthem writes, “I like to
think of my music as a fusion of the old and the new, from the
rawness and simplicity of guitar, ranging from ambient acoustics to
grinding electrics, to the subsonic punch and complexity of
electronic sounds.”
Attributes of grunge music fill out the
remainder of Strange Anthem's style. Fans of bands such as Faith No
More, NIN, Depeche Mode and Pop Will Eat Itself are likely to be
especially enthusiastic about this first, remarkable offering from
Strange Anthem.
The unusually strong rhythms of Strange
Anthem's “EP Volume 1” stem from the artist's instrumental
background.
“I started getting involved in music
through being a drummer,” writes Strange Anthem, “just jamming
and having fun playing in a band.”
Strange Anthem is a solo project based
in Australia's music hotbed of Melbourne. Speaking of the themes of
his record, SA writes, “The message or intention of 'EP Volume 1'
is to paint a collage of ideas, emotions and rhythms that provoke and
excite [you] to move your body and mind. There are truths to bear,
secrets to tell and wounds to heal. I invite my listeners to pull
back the curtain and look inside to find the drama that awaits
within.”
“EP Volume 1” by Strange Anthem is
available online worldwide. Get in early.
