The notorious Neptune are on the road once again promoting their new album, Play Some Music. What began as a sculpture project for Jason Sanford in the 90s evolved into Boston’s perhaps most iconic art-rock group, Neptune. Guitars hacked together from soldered refrigerator doors and homemade synths—a melding of hardware store and landfill as they put it—Neptune has continued to shock and awe with their signature discordant sound, and this summer they’ll be touring the US, beginning June 10th at The Dunken Unicorn in Atlanta, GA, and ending in Minneapolis, MN, on the 28th. Full tour dates and locations can be found here. Mirror Side below is from Play Some Music.

Submergent 01
Mutable Sound of the Month
Jason Sanford experiments with technology to create new kinds and sorts of sounds with old tones and out of step algorithms, and Submergent is one of these sounds. It’s a sound like the hive has woken and it is hunting around the corner. It is a sound that presents only questions. Mr. Sanford has been bending the minds and metal of the music world for thirty years and he’s not finished twisting your soul into pretzels of itself using methodologies verging on the unacceptable. Enjoy!
