U.K. psychedelic rock band Black Market Karma release new single "Dead Trajectory"
U.K. psychedelic rock band Black Market Karma dropped their new single "Dead Trajectory" yesterday.
An accompanying video for the track, which can be seen below, was filmed by Jenn Cliff-Wilcock during the band’s U.K. tour last October.
The single comes from Black Market Karma’s 10th studio album Aped Flair & Hijacked Ideas, which is slated to drop on September 29 via Flower Power Records. The 11-track album is the follow-up to the band’s 2021 studio album The Technicolour Liquid Audio Machine.
Stanley Belton said this about the forthcoming album, which can be pre-ordered here:
“I like to think of the sound of this record as Aquatica. It's like a psychedelic carousel of syrupy melody and liquid audio. Fat, baggy, saturated bass and drums, shimmering jangly guitars, wobbling fuzz, drunken keyboards and telephonic vocals. Imagine something along the lines of The Velvet Underground and The Troggs making tunes together but underwater, performing on marine life instead of instruments and routing the whole thing through a UFO.
The album's title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the idea that nothing is truly original. Influence is an infinite web connecting all art and I think that's a beautiful thing that should be embraced. I often see people getting too hung up on the pursuit of some kind of idea of total originality that doesn't exist. It's all in the blend.”
