Thug Entrancer announces concept record about an imagined alien world
Electronic producer Thug Entrancer - aka Ryan McRyhew - has announced a new concept record titled Arcology.
The ambitious follow up to his 2014 debut is described as "a narrative of an imagined alien colony existing between the fabric of known/unknown worlds... Arcology explores high tech/low life society, mechanical structures, and data-driven humanity in an evocative techno framework."
Oliver Chapoy helped mix the album, which was largely created from isolated bouts of improvisation, while Milton Melvin Croissant III created the artwork and helped hone McRyhew's ideas.
Croissant III says of the LP: “What interests us the most in science fiction, or what we find makes the genre successful, is the ability to construct a new universe, culture, and environment. World-building is something we strive for individually in each of our creative practices. The ultimate goal of this collaboration is to use the music of Arcology as a framework to create a universe.”
Debut LP Death After Life was released early last year.
Arcology is out via Software on 4 March.
