Toronto based solo artist Christopher issued the following release:
'After 5 years, the follow up to "wer Next Projekt" is complete. The follow-up album is called "Smoke and Origination". The mixdown was completed on June 25th and it is being mastered this week. We're hoping for a late October/Early November release.'
Describing the sound of the album:
'If music had feet, it would kick your ass. But music doesn't. Therefore, you're safe. It's lop sided, it's clumsy, it's a confused bullying child. The best comparison I can come up with is that it's a "Pet Sounds" style of record. Risks were taken, for better, for worse. Unlike "wer Next Projekt," this isn't an industrial meets world music album. This is a loosely conceptual piece that has more in common with artists like Porcupine Tree & Opeth.'
Clocking in at just under 70 minutes, Smoke and Origination is an ambitious work for listeners tired of the usual retro-obsessed pap of the mainstream.
'The album is in one key, but this wasn't a conscious effort initially. It didn't take very long to notice that that was to be one of the "themes" of the record. So I went with it. It was a challenge to write a whole album in one key and have it be interesting to hear.'
Tracklisting is as follows:
1. The Summoning Vector
2. This is Your Plague
3. Sunday is Falling Apart
4. The Following Vision Was Staged
5. Spaghetti Terrorist
6. Sharp Knives
7. Frailty Scan
8. Purpose?
9. An Addendum
10. Wraith's Progress
11. Derivative Hearts
12. Again
Christopher released `wer Next Projekt' in 2001. In the interim he has been scoring soundtracks, auditioned to replace JP Lepp?luoto in Poisonblack in 2004, and released a mailing list only compilation called `Abandoned in Situ' in 2006.
