The Technocrat
posted October 7, 2020 #
Today, Coupler debuted a new video for "The Technocrat" off of their EP, The Rhythm Method. The folks at I Heart Noise had these kind words to say:
For me, personally, the video (directed by Ben Marcantel) harkens back to vintage videogames. It's a series of still images - you can hardly even say it has anything resembling "Frames Per Second" - but it tells a story of intrigue, car chases and even a little gunplay. A dash of imagination is necessary to fill in the gaps but it reminds me of nights plucking away at a Tandy-1000. It's not an exact 1:1 of that experience but there's enough of a nostalgia twinge to be pleasant.
It's a great song and probably among the most upbeat the band has ever been. Nice to hear them stretch out into these kinds of territories.
“The Technocrat” – its danceable, very groovy and yet it so much darker than your average dancefloor filler that it could easily appeal to someone into Suicide (as well as early Cure or Sisters of Mercy).It's a nice debut for the track and I'm thankful for the insights they provided. All too often when a video "premieres" somewhere, the blog will literally copy paste the press release and call it a day.

Tower Defense announce In The City
posted October 2, 2020 #
I've been working with the band Tower Defense for most of the year to help prep their second album, In the City for release on yk Records. I'm incredibly excited to finally announce the record is now available to pre-order and you can hear the first single "Room Service" right now. It's not on the streaming services quite yet because, frankly, I want you to go to their Bandcamp.
This is the first record the band has officially written as a four piece, as the prior release - Stay Inside - was mostly well formed by the time they added guitarist Currey Muse into the mix. The impact of this change is subtle but significant (yes, I know how that sounds). The songs are still a blast of fuzzy bass sounds but there's an extra layer of fun to the whole thing. You may not notice it quite yet but that enjoyment will reveal itself as more singles come out.
Long story short, listen to this track! Enjoy it! Get that LP!

If your position has moved from “we should fact check this guy” to “we should be able to cut off his mic entirely” then maybe you’ve already answered whether he should be president or not.

We cannot allow another four years of this. I’ll say it again— we MUST turn out in record-shattering numbers at the polls to defend our democracy and decency.
