LUNACY’S ECHO IN THE MEMORY continues the story the shadow figure left off on the debut effort “Age Of Truth” and examines a new world of emptiness that the past has left behind. The current world as we know it has ended The first effort for Oliver Ackermann’s (A Place To Bury Strangers / Death By Audio) newly formed label, Dedstrange & Lunacy’s sophomore release shows a more defined and developed sound and a catharsis contained within the fog. Lunacy’s take on cinematic post-punk, atmospheric washes of noise & repetition resonates on exactly the position the world is in - Starting on an echo and ending on To Be Continued[TBC]…
“Echo In The Memory” marks a new chapter for LUNACY in a step of sonic annihilation focusing on trying to rebuild a world that no longer exists. Previous works have been recorded on a 4- track tascam portastudio using various analog single unit drum machines, guitar, bass and synths. On this upcoming release the recording process has changed quite a bit, being recorded on an Otari Broadcast MX50/50 - a 4 track 1/4 inch tape machine brought back to life by Sean Hur. All backing tracks, drum samples & loops were produced on an all black mpc1000 except, “Fragmented Pulse” which used the classic dr-55 with an 8/12 bitcrusher fuzz pedal handmade by Kyle Reiff. Both analog & digital synths were used along with guitar & bass with various effects pedals. Recorded over a two year period from 2019 - 2021, mixed by Connor Clasen & Mastered by Oliver Ackermann.
As continued in Lunacy’s tradition Echo In The Memory will be pressed on a few variants of Limited colored vinyl, featuring original cover art from Dusty Ray and Logo work from Jesse Draxler. Echo In The Memory is set for release on Dedstrange on April 1st 2022.
*Physical + Digital Album Release date is 04/01/22
