L.A.’s Together Pangea have announced a new EP called Non-Stop Paranoia, coming October 26. Today, they share the 80’s-tinged “Hi-Fi Television,” which showcases their signature vibrant, infectious sound, and for the first time sees the band experimenting with the addition of synths. The track premiered on Consequence of Sound, who commented, “Wrapped in wiry, frizzy guitars, it’s a pounding and punchy two-minute burst of bundled energy — think of the inside of one’s mind just as they are reaching their breaking point.”
Of the EP, vocalist/guitarist William Keegan says, “The lyrics reflect anxiety and paranoia in the age of misinformation. De-evolution in the form of rampant conspiracy theory born from the erosion of trust in our sources of information.”
The addition of synths is a new foray for the band, which added an 80’s vibe to the whole EP. Keegan says, “The 80’s style is actually kind of unintentional. The synth sounds that we found and liked just happen to be sounds that were popular in the 80’s. It also might have something with only having the radio in my car. I mostly end up listening to Jack FM and they play a lot of Depeche Mode.”
The band will start the second leg of the Alkaline Trio tour on October 4th in Santa Ana, CA. The band has been on the road since last fall, bringing their raucous live show to audiences across North America, the UK and Europe in support of their latest critically acclaimed album, Bulls and Roosters, out now.
