Erasers Announce Third Album "Constant Connection" Out April 22nd !
Today, Perth-based band Erasers, comprised of long-term duo Rebecca Orchard and Rupert Thomas share self-titled single, 'Constant Connection' and formally announce their newest LP.
'Constant Connection' is set for release April 22nd digitally and physically via Fire Talk Records. The new single follows on the "incredible drone music" (the Quietus) & "almost ritualistic pop" (Vice Noisey) of past records Pulse Points & Stem Together.
Speaking about the new track, the band said: "The core of this song came together quickly over the course of a morning writing session. As many good ideas do, this one seemed to gel in the space of a few minutes, the drum rhythm, bassline, and repeated synth melody sat well together immediately. While we haven’t played this one much in the live realm yet, when we have it’s been a joy to play. Often you get tired and bored of your own songs, but there’s something about this one that just sits really well with us, so it seems fitting to have named the album after it. As usual, layers of synth and keys whirl around over the top of a classic Rupert drum loop. Voice is used almost as another instrument, making melodies and repetitions on the delicate nature of existing in the world and the strength in connection"

'Constant Connection' is the new album from Perth-based duo Erasers. Forming as a home recording project over a decade ago, they documented their early sound in a steady flow of CD-Rs, tapes and 7" releases before signing to U.S. label Fire Talk for their subsequent releases, including 2019’s Pulse Points, which Bandcamp called 2019’s Pulse Points “their best album yet”, “recalling the bombed-out electronic textures of Low’s recent work.” Having shared the stage with artists such as The Soft Moon, Grouper and Prince Rama, their live show is a trance masterclass weaving organ drones and snaking guitar-and-synth interplay with Rebecca Orchard's towering incantations. Inspired by their discontent with current world affairs as well as a fascination with 1970s National Geographic, the dreamy, synth-driven soundscapes of new album Constant Connection (via Fire Talk & Night School in the UK) continue the pair’s gift for melding ambient beats and drone-y vocals into a hypnotizing format, offering an eye into the interiors of a world that’s mesmerizing in its soft-focused lens. Staying true to the psychedelic minimalism and definitive pop-structures that remain key components of the band’s signature sound, the new record refines their journey deeper into dreamy territory that feels comforting in all its subdued form.
