"Not of This World" is the first single from Carney and Pektovic's new band Sad Planets, after forming over a common interest of the music in their city, Akron, Ohio.
Their debut record takes the same name of their native city where they bonded, and sees Carney expand to contribute Enoesque synthesizers and other instruments to the mix, rather than just sticking to drums.
Akron, Ohio also sees a guest feature from Dinosaur Jr. frontman J Mascis, who plays with Pektovic in his other project Sweet Apple.
On their new project, Pektovic says, "When Patrick asked if I wanted to come to Akron to jam with him in the studio, I saw it as a chance to work with a longtime friend, but also an opportunity to reconnect with Akron in a very different way."
