Acclaimed electronic rock band STS9 released their new album THE UNIVERSE INSIDE–the band’s first new full-length studio album in nearly seven years—Friday, September 2 via 1320 Recordsdebuting at #1 on iTunes and Amazon Electronic Album charts.The 13-track album is the band’s first featuring bassist Alana Rocklin and continues their stylistic exploration in the studio with Ben Kaye of CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND noting, “The Universe Inside sees the band return with a message…in all, the record marks a new dawn for the long-standing outfit” (8/26) and Fox Adams from SOUND & SILENCE MAGAZINE adding, “it contains 13 tracks of celestial sounds and goose bump inducing riffs that will take you on a journey back to the band’s funk roots” (8/30). KyleRutherford of THE UNTZ also praised the album saying, “The Universe Inside is a conscious expression of the beauty in the world, and a motivation for all listeners to follow the path they wish to choose” (9/5)
The members of STS9–Hunter Brown (guitar/sequences), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards/synths), Zach Velmer (drums) and Alana Rocklin (bass)-went through a lot over the course of making this record. In order to connect and express something more direct than they could with the music alone, the band chose to utilize more lyrics than they have on any of their previous efforts. It’s an album about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. THE UNIVERSE INSIDE—written, recorded, produced and mixed by the band at their own 1320 Mission Control in Santa Cruz, CA-comes on the cusp of STS9‘s 20th Anniversary (in 2017).
STS9 recently revealed dates for a fall headlining tour in support of the album’s release. The quintet will bring their expansive sound, innovative style combining the energy of 21st century dance music with the dynamics of a band,one-of-a-kind critically acclaimed production and message of unity to audiences throughout the Midwest and East Coast this October and November. Kicking off October 20 in Minneapolis, STS9will stop in 15 cities before wrapping November 12 at New York City’s Terminal 5, with appearances at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and Suwannee Hulaween festivals and a co-headlining show with GRiZ sandwiched between.
