Live performance and studio composition are essentially now the same process, rather than the common method of writing a track using the computer, and then working out ways to perform it live. Jas, on the recording process – “The recordings we did in the studio while we were writing and rehearsing the new material for Whorl were simply “live” takes – the system we’re using has limited ability to save patterns in the sequencer, but nothing like the flexibility of a computer.
SMD’s new live system was born out of a desire to challenge themselves – to remove computers altogether, going back to hardware sequencers, and limiting themselves to a suitcase sized rack of modular synth gear each –which both reduces the sound palette but allows much more hands on, real time manipulation – constraining themselves technically, to free themselves up musically. The album will be preceded by a single, “Tangents”, on the 1st of July. Now, after completing mixing and mastering, they are pleased to announce that the final studio album will be released through Anti Records (Tom Waits, Kate Bush) on September the 8th. Those sessions, taped under the desert sky, became the basis for their brand new album “Whorl”. Over a period of three days, they jammed and rehearsed in the desert, culminating in a one off sold out show at Pappy & Harriet’s, Pioneertown, allowing 900 fans to witness part of the recording process. Brad Walst also stated that the album is about "the journey to find your place." The background electronic aspects of the album were influced by Bring Me the Horizon's 2015 album That's the Spirit.In April, Simian Mobile Disco trekked out to the Southern California desert, taking with them just two modular synths, two sequencers, and a mixer. We don't have all the answers here, but we definitely do bring up the topic a lot." He also revealed that lead vocalist Matt Walst was much more involved in the songwriting, messages, and concepts than on Human, which was Matt's first since joining the band in 2013. Talking about the themes found on the album, Sanderson said "I think there's a common thread that talks about how to navigate your way through modern life and being bombarded by information and feelings and beliefs. The album was preceded by the release of first single: "The Mountain". It is the second album to feature Matt Walst as lead vocalist. The album was produced by two of the band's prior producers, Gavin Brown and Howard Benson but also by members of the band themselves.
It was released on Mathrough RCA Records. Outsider is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace.
