Even though we are getting into a creative space again, we have just released a new album called "Databomb". So, I thought I would touch on a few points about "Databomb". The album took roughly 3 years to make, we started it while we were travelling (which is typically the case when we start albums, we are working on one thing in the studio... then we go travelling and we can't take that current stuff, so we start something new). There were a lot of things that were going on, while this album was being written, first and foremost, the U.S. saw a new President, probably someone who shouldn't be a President, but for some reason the populace voted for him. Within that election cycle, and the campaigning that was going on, Russian hackers exploited social media, in particular Facebook, and used the ads feature, to manipulate the election results, by posting fake news and false ads and statements. There was truly a debate of whether or not the U.S. was going to fall into dystopia. Both potential candidates for the democrats and republicans were highly questionable, and it was either pick, dystopia A or B. Are they truly in a dystopia..? Not sure on that... I don't think they are quite there yet, but it is not looking good for them.
Here is the song "Dystopia For You?"
