Scorched Transmissions’ self-titled debut album CD available now @ CD Baby for $12.97: (click here). The music ranges widely from avant-garde hip-hop to electronic jazz instrumentals with beautiful melodies to hook you, mind blowing lyrics to keep you thinking, and detailed elements to keep you hearing more with each listen. Each song is distinct, as over a year has gone into the production of this album, with Future Metz’s well honed rap lyrics, Avitar Virgonian’s improvisations on vintage analog gear, and JD Casten’s state of the art midi programming. Together they have produced a unique album, situated between history and the future. Here you will find elements of classic funk colliding with dub-step, psychedelic rap fused with ambient techno, and new forms of emerging sound design. Even though this is their debut album, each of the three members brings years of music making experience to the project, having made music in prior groups and projects.
