New York City's critically revered avant-garde, industrial-punk three-piece, POP. 1280, have debuted a goth-tinged post-punk dance banger, "Not Too Deep", from their forthcoming fifth full-length album, Museum On The Horizon, that's set to be released on the 24th of September via Profound Lore Records. You can watch the video below. Previously unveiled single "Noncompliant" with more album details can be checked out over HERE.
Commenting on "Not Too Deep", the band states: "It seemed fitting to us to write a dance song in such apocalyptic times, and "Not Too Deep" is the result of that effort. We often write impressionistic or surrealistic lyrics, but for "Not Too Deep" we wanted to be direct and to the point, thus mirroring the directness of the music. An important theme in this song, and throughout the entire album, is the notion that we have become so accustomed to the slow, inevitable death of humanity that the apocalypse has become banal."
POP. 1280's rising success and critical acclaim over the last decade can be attributed to their devotion to songwriting, bold originality and an intense exploration and experimentation with sound. Their unique ability to blend and transcend genres of punk, new wave, industrial, noise-rock and post-punk and their capacity to evolve and shapeshift keeps fans intrigued and mesmerized with each epic release. On their follow up to 2019's lauded Way Station, the band emerges from the pandemic with renewed vitality, crafty enthralling songs that push the confines of the sound further than ever before.
The band adds about the new album: "Museum On The Horizon partially came about the way it did because our last album was more minimal and ambient. That LP was written in the studio and was difficult to play live. We wrote Museum On The Horizon in our practice space and got to road test about half of it before the pandemic. Ironically, even after the pandemic, the desire to play live and connect with other people influenced the sound of this record. We were drawn to structured, drum machine-driven songs because we were imagining playing live and wanted something to hope for. Museum On The Horizon continues our interest in electronic music but moves from more soundscapes and tones to grooves and beats. Part of this was the pandemic and wanting to have something exciting and hopeful and part of it was we had more time to understand our machines and get the most out of them." Link
