Aleutian Drift presents its third single, “Song in Sevenths,” ahead of the full album release.

 

Over a brooding bass and (slightly more hopeful) guitar gestures and washes, the single, Song in Sevenths, reflects on a life lived on the wrong side of the seven deadly sins. The song also pays tribute to the significance of the number seven within other human sufferings, including the Seven Years War, and (tragically) the seven ordinary days of the week.

Recorded at Drum Farm Studio - Menomonie, WI

Produced by A Thousand Plateaus

Engineered by Steve Norwick

Mixed by John Richardson

Mastered by Jackson Dols

Released by Farm to Label Records

Release Date: 03/2024

André Breton

Aleutian Drift presents its second single as part of the upcoming full-length album, The Citadel, to be released Spring 2024. 

 

The single, “Andre Breton!”, pays tribute to the famous (or infamous) French surrealist of the early 20th century. What better period to look back to for revolutionary politics? We like to think that Mr. Breton (1896-1966) would have dug the decidedly unforgiving / unapologetic aesthetic and drive of this song.

Aleutian Drift (formally A Thousand Plateaus) presents its first single in two years, “The Pentagon, in Levitation”, part of an upcoming full-length album to be released Spring 2024, 

 

Opening with a fanfare of sirens on stolen fenders, and cascading relentlessly forward with hefty rhythm and driving guitars and vocals, “The Pentagon, in Levitation” offers a post-punk tribute to our ancestors who participated in the anti-Vietnam war ‘March on the Pentagon’ on October 21, 1967.

The single is part of the full-length album coming in Spring 2024 via FARM TO LABEL RECORDS.

We present our self-titled album, A Thousand Plateaus, as a portrait of a band that still dances close to the fire. What follows is our own assessment of the album’s tracks, and its overall sound…

A Thousand Plateaus is big and unafraid from its opening track, “Even the Sun has a Dial,” the lyrics of which draw upon life experience, serving somewhat as a lesson from our “now selves” to our “then selves”. The second track, “Sabellian” ,” an ode to lost peoples and lost languages, and by extension, a lost way of seeing things, is also a statement against empire (in this case Rome, but not much of a stretch to spell it differently), and so we believe pretty fitting for the state of screwedupness we presently find ourselves in. Like “Sun Dial,” the song is played forward and with resolve. So too is “My Purchase,” which comments on the denial of science in the face of the undeniability of scientific fact. The listener may be steered in the direction of Covid here, but hell, one could also just step outside and consider climate change. The album’s forth track, “The Night will Open,” strives for a depth of sound that might harken back to the 4AD catalogue of the mid-80’s, and we would readily confess to the influences such seminal acts as the Cocteau Twins, The Birthday Party, and Bauhaus.  Certainly the more tender of our influences may be detected in  “I Have You.” A song written from “the point of view of death,” this fifth track is perhaps another that maturity has enabled, particularly as we also find it so sweetly melodious. The album’s sixth song, “Avivit,” calmly unfolds as if it were a story being told at the end of a bar, and hits in the middle like a shot of Spirytus, inserting a re-connection with the bigness of the album sound. The final song on the vinyl release, “November Snow,” is similar to the album’s opening number with respect to “lessons learned from life,” but moves more evenly and methodically to its dark climax. “The Natural Lawbreakers” is not on the LP record, but will be made available to purchasers as a high resolution download. We believe the song provides a fitting cap to the collection, and feels perhaps like a walk through tall rolling grasses at early dusk.
