DEAFCULT 'Collapsing Empires' LP

** Please note, this is a preorder and stock is due on/ about NOV 27th **

On Collapsing Empires, DEAFCULT consider a contradiction of modern life: the ways we communicate keep evolving, yet our ability to understand one another remains as uncertain as ever. The Brisbane band's third full-length album draws on the disappearing sounds of obsolete technology, remnants of things that once promised connection but now feel like echoes from another time. Woven through Deafcult's familiar interplay of noise and melody, they lend the record an uneasy sense of distance, even as the music remains unmistakably human. Much of Collapsing Empires grew from improvisation. Rather than remove the accidents and imperfections that surfaced, the band chose to keep them. It's a decision that gives the music its character and reflects the record's central idea: technology may become more sophisticated, but human frailty remains. Lead single Daily Rothko takes its cue from the painter's search for human feeling through abstraction. In that spirit, Collapsing Empires is a record about what disappears, what endures, and the imperfect ways we keep trying to reach one another.
