Getting to Know the Unknown

Here is a special message I received from Satellite Tragedy...


"Hello!

This email is just to let you - our very special friends - know that we - Satellite Tragedy - are releasing our debut record New Beautiful next week. We've signed a deal with Pop Up Records, a small indie label based in South Florida, and the hardcopy CDs (with artwork, liner notes, etc) will be available on their site, popuprecords.com Tuesday, November 25th, as well as full album downloads on all the major music sites (iTunes, Napster, Amazon, etc.)

Since it seems there's always been a demand for music to have a 'genre label' in the music biz, I suppose we would describe our music as Alternative Rock, but not Nickelback Alternative. More like a Failure/Helmet/Nirvana 90s flavored alternative with an experimental NIN/Radiohead kinda twist. Sounds good right? It really is. Hear for yourself! Here's the clichéd bio:

"Satellite Tragedy is guitar driven alternative rock with soaring melodic vocals and conceptual lyrics. Their first album, 'New Beautiful' (Pop Up Records 2008) is a sonically dynamic experience that will leave the listener excited for this band's future."

So there ya have it: Satellite Tragedy - New Beautiful - popuprecords.com - Nov 25th.

Give the gift of music this Christmas! And please forward this email to any of your music loving friends you think might enjoy us!

I have had this album for a while now, and I can honestly say that it's one of the best for the year. The completeness and flow of the album as a whole is incredible, similar in many ways to Failure's "Fantastic Planet." This should serve as all you need to know to go buy a copy of Satellite Tragedy's debut. Trust me, you're going to want to own this one! The band is able to invoke several different influences from track to track while still sounding very much grounded as a band.

P.S. - Garnet Syberg-Olsen did the spaceman artwork for the album and the flyer. He's also serving as Art Director on the currently in production animated video for our song 'This Unknown'. Check out more of his stuff here.
