Butterflies take for-fucking-ever to be born, if you really think about it. That’s metamorphosis, man — one day, you’re this fat little worm guy with like 30 stubby appendages crawling along on a leaf that you’re probably also eating, then you’re instinctively walling yourself up into a little slimy egg thing, and finally you re-emerge in your true form: beautiful, wings slick with goo, relatively lanky.
You know what I always say about musicians &mdsah; they’re exactly the same as butterflies, in every respect, except the musician pulls off a new worm-to-wings transition with each album cycle.
One musician getting set to birth a new butterfly of an album is producer TJ Hertz, better known as Objekt, whose new album Cocoon Crush will be out November 9 on PAN.
Per a press release, in the soundworld of Cocoon Crush, “ghostly synth passages weave through mind-bending weighty drums and ASMR-triggering foley collages scrape and sparkle.”
Cocoon Crush follows Objekt’s 2014 debut, Flatland, as well as numerous smaller releases. Stream the album’s first single, “Secret Snake,” here:
