Alien Alarms: @moloch
Alien Alarms combine poetry, prose, philosophy and found sounds with live, improvised generative rhythms, beat chopping and custom software to make music about love, loss, technology and society for the head, the feet and the heart.
Since combining breakbeats, field recordings of Brighton and the 19th century words of Lord Byron on “Music On The Water” in May 2021, Alien Alarms have released music on the Patchworks, Stresshead and Spirit Of Gravity labels, played live across the UK, received airplay on Codesouth.FM, Resonance Extra, Radio Reverb, BBC Radio Wales and were played on BBC Radio 6 Music by Tom Robinson who described the music as “continuing to push the envelope”.
The new Alien Alarms album “Utopia Or Dystopia?” scheduled for release on October 4th collects visions of hope and despair from history, philosophy, fiction and activism alongside performances by exciting new jazz and classical players and prog rock legends, orchestral and breakbeat samples, found sounds, analogue synths and custom made software to make music that is exciting, ambitious, personal, epic, beautiful, sick, haunting, intense, heartfelt and thought provoking.
“Utopia Or Dystopia?” will be available on CD and as a digital download from https://alienalarms.bandcamp.com/ and via all major streaming services on October 4th with a vinyl release to follow later in the year.
The album will be preceded by the single “@moloch” out today which will also be available from https://alienalarms.bandcamp.com/ and accompanied by a video at https://www.youtube.com/@alienalarms
Music from the album will be performed live with Ieva Dubova at The Spirit Of Gravity at the Rossi Bar in Brighton on October 3rd, at Intox at Daltons in Brighton on October 24th at the More Kicks Than Friends festival online on November 9th and at CRUX at New River Studios in London on November 17th.
