[PREMIERE] FJERSTAD // 8​-​Circuit Neurorgasmic Trigger


"8-CIRCUIT NEURORGASMIC TRIGGER" IS THE DEBUT FULL-LENGTH UNDER THE SURNAME OF MULTI-DISCIPLINARY L.A. ARTIST (CHAD) FJERSTAD. THE ELECTRONICA LP IS A FULLY DIGITAL EXCURSION PRIMARILY INSPIRED BY SOME OF THE FINEST STALWARTS OF THE UK 90'S (LFO, ORBITAL, THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS, ETC), WHILE ALSO PULLING INFLUENCE FROM A FULL TIMELINE OF TECHNO, ELECTRO, AND JAPANESE SYNTH MUSIC SUCH AS YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA AND 16-BIT VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACKS.
AFTER EXPERIMENTING WITH THE FUSION OF DIGITAL AND ANALOG SYNTHS ON HIS 2015 MORE EPHEMEROL LP, FJERSTAD MADE A DECISION TO SEPARATE THE TWO, OUTPUTTING FULL DIGITAL WORKS UNDER HIS SURNAME, WHILE ALL FUTURE MORE EPHEMEROL WORKS WOULD BECOME ANALOG-CENTRIC.
FJERSTAD HAS BEEN MOSTLY RECOGNIZED AS THE BASSIST FOR HEAVY GUITAR-DRIVEN BANDS SUCH AS DEAD TO FALL AND THE PRIMALS BUT AIMS TO PRODUCE A CONTINUOUS STREAM OF SYNTH-BASED OUTPUT AS LONG AS LIFE ALLOWS HIM. HE RUNS HIS OWN IMPRINT, EPHEMEROL NIGHT TERRORS, WHICH HE RELEASES A GREAT QUANTITY OF HIS MUSICAL WORKS THROUGH, AS WELL AS HIS BOOKS, WHICH HE HAS PUBLISHED THREE OF TO THIS DAY (12-20-2018).


"8-CIRCUIT NEURORGASMIC TRIGGER" RELEASES DIGITALLY TODAY AND VINYL RELEASES MID FEB. 2019.
ALL MUSIC BY CHAD FJERSTAD
THE RECORD WAS MIXED BY MATIA SIMOVICH (INHALT, SRSQ, ETC) AND MASTERED BY HUNTLEY MILLER. AND FEATURES A GUEST GUITAR SPOT BY MICHAEL KEENE (THE FACELESS).
ARTWORK BY MATT FISHER + COLIN STRANDBERG
