New Jersey based designer and musician Seth Haley, currently operating under the persona Com Truise, has announced his debut LP Galactic Melt, due out July 5. The album concept is really exciting – Haley describes Galactic Melt as “a sort of film score… from the mind” chronicling the life and death of Com Truise, “the world's first synthetic/robotic astronaut” from his creation to eventual synthesis with a newly-discovered cosmos.
Last week he premiered “Cathode Girls”, the third track off the album; not sure exactly where in the saga of Com Truise this song takes place, but the intricate and romantic blending of synths – as well as the fact that it follows a track called “VHS Sex” – indicates something good.
