NEW YORK—Experimental noise-rock outfit Show Me The Body announced Tuesday they are preparing their next album, “Alone Together.” The band plans to record the entirety of the album in a decommissioned Cold War-era fallout shelter. They claim the isolation will enhance the thematic elements of “Alone Together.” This follows their recent single, “No God.”
A New Era Of Solitude
Frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt stated the bunker offered unparalleled acoustic properties. “We need to feel the existential dread,” Pratt said. “The bunker is perfect. It smells like old piss and despair.” He believes this will help them capture the raw energy needed for the new Show Me The Body material. Pratt was last seen attempting to swim through a highway overpass in the video for “No God.”
The band cited a desire to escape the “cacophony of the digital age.” They hope the extreme isolation will foster a more aggressive sound. “This is about confronting the void,” said bassist Noah Barry. “And maybe finding some decent WiFi, eventually.” The bunker is located in a remote part of upstate New York. It is currently only accessible by a narrow, overgrown hiking trail.
The Sound Of Silence
Show Me The Body plans to subsist on canned goods and generator power. They will communicate with the outside world via a single, unlisted landline. This is their most ambitious project yet. “We want to make music that feels like it’s clawing its way out of the earth,” Pratt added. The band is no stranger to intense creative processes. Their previous albums were recorded in a derelict warehouse. It is unknown if the bunker has plumbing.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the news. Some lauded the band’s commitment to artistic integrity. Others worried about the potential for prolonged exposure to toxic mold. The band hopes to emerge with a finished product in approximately six months. This new album marks a significant departure. Show Me The Body is known for their confrontational live shows.
At press time, the band was reportedly trying to figure out how to get a twelve-foot subwoofer down a 3-foot wide stairwell.
