Ternion Sound, the trailblazing electronic trio, set the stage for their monumental album “Digital Artifice” with the release of their captivating single, “Amplify”, on October 4th.
This single, featuring the distinct vocals of rising Atlanta star Khallil, offers a fusion of break beat and jump up, challenging and expanding the sonic boundaries of bass music.
Drawing anticipation for their forthcoming album, which will debut on Noisia’s iconic VISION label on October 13th, “Digital Artifice” promises to be more than just an album; it’s a declaration. With it, Ternion Sound confronts industry conventions and the discord between music lovers and their digital consumption habits.
“This album has been years in the making… and it’s the most challenging creative work we’ve ever put together,” the trio reveals.
Early listeners got a taste of the album’s divergence from the group’s quintessential bass style with the September 21st release of “Artifice”. This track juxtaposes heavy distortion with sharp melodies, echoing the anxieties of today’s society.
The album’s provocative title, proposed by Ternion’s Andrew, reflects the era’s sentiment: “they will show us how to ruin the world.” At a time when convenience trumps genuine experiences, “Digital Artifice” stands in defiance. The term “Artifice” represents the duality of technology, a tool for crafting digital deceptions for superficial gains. However, Ternion Sound’s album champions authenticity, evoking introspection and challenging conventions.
Brimming with collaborations from Crazy D, EMZ, PAV4N, SonnyJim, Logan_OLM, and Khallil, “Digital Artifice” is emblematic of Ternion Sound’s bass-heavy ethos. The album is designed as a continuous mix, compelling listeners to engage with its intended narrative arc.
Taking aim at platforms that risk diminishing artistic works to mere content, the album resounds with resistance, asserting, “Art isn’t disposable, and neither is this album.”
Adding to the album’s buzz, Ternion Sound will be gracing VISION Radio on October 11th for an early playthrough. Bolstering their dedication to their craft, renowned designer Safe Haven of the brand Ghost Hardware has meticulously crafted the cover art and Spotify canvas for “Digital Artifice”.
Looking forward, Ternion Sound is set to embark on a nationwide tour this Fall alongside The Widdler. Distinctive in its promotional angle, this tour gives a nod to underground promoters, pioneering sound systems, and iconic venues across the nation, from Atlanta’s Underground to San Diego’s Tunnel Location, climaxing with a two-night extravaganza in their hometown of Minneapolis.
