Listen: KAADA/PATTON SHARE 'RED RAINBOW' FROM THEIR UPCOMING ALBUM

  The opening track from Bacteria Cult, the second collaborative album in twelve years from the esteemed Norwegian composer John Kaada and the prolific epitome of experimentation Mike Patton, is available to listen now, ahead of the record's release on April 1st on Ipecac Recordings via [PIAS]. 

  'Red Rainbow' begins the record with a slow burning, underlying sense of dormant power, made graceful with the considered movements of the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, and spiralling around a procession pace in to a whirl of exotic vocal intonation, setting the tone marvellously for the magic that follows across the rest of Bacteria Cult.

 “Working with John Kaada on this latest release was an honor and pure pleasure,” said Patton of resuming work Kaada. “His compositions have always resonated deeply with me and his orchestral arrangements for this project are harmonically dense and delicious! Each individual piece is so well constructed and inventively assembled that my vocal passages practically sang themselves. I’m hoping very much that we can seduce some eardrums and welcome listeners into this lush sonic ‘otherworld.’”

 “We wanted to try new things,” explains Kaada. “Fully utilizing new technologies, combined with a large orchestra, while putting more attention towards melody and structure.”

 The eight-song, orchestral collection exudes the music Ipecac has become well known for: eclectic, experimental and cinematic.  Similar in feel to Fantômas’ Director’s Cut, as Kaada describes it, Bacteria Cult “dwells in the twilight zone where spooky and seductive meet.”
