- The US producer's next album is due out on Hippos In Tanks in October.
James Ferraro will release his next album, HELL, NYC 3:00 AM, on October 15th.
The experimental producer's latest LP arrives roughly a year on from his last, Sushi. As with that release, HELL, NYC 3:00 AM will come out on Hippos In Tanks. "This record is about my demons just as much as its about society's demons," Ferraro explains. As the title suggests, the album explores the seedy underbelly of New York, the city Ferraro calls home. He describes it as "a surreal psychological sculpture of American decay and confusion" and says it was inspired by "the things I see," such as "rats, metal landscape, toxic water, junkie friends, HIV billboards, evil news, luxury and unbound wealth, exclusivity, facelifts, romance, insane police presence [and] lonely people... all against the sinister vastness of Manhattan's alienating skyline." You can stream snippets of two of the album's tracks, "Eternal Condition" and "Stuck 2," over at the Hippos In Tanks SoundCloud page.
