Daniel Avery has announced a new album called Ultra Truth, which arrives on November 4 via Phantasy Sound. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Chaos Energy’, which features vocals from Kelly Lee Owens and HAAi. Check out its accompanying video, created by Claudia Rafael using AI technology, below.
In addition to Kelly Lee Owens and HAAi, the follow-up to 2021’s Together in Static includes contributions from Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul, Marie Davidson, Sherelle, and James Massiah.
“Ultra Truth finds me in a different place to where I’ve been before,” Avery explained in a statement. “My previous albums have all focused on the idea of music being an escape or a distraction from the world but that’s not the case this time. For me this album is about looking directly into the darkness, not running away from it. There’s a way through these times but it involves keeping the important people in your life close to you and navigating the noise together. This is an intentionally heavy and dense album, the hooks often hidden in dusty corners. I’m no longer dealing in a misty-eyed euphoria. Ultra Truth is a distorted fever dream of a record: riled, determined and alive.”
“I’m working with an entirely new world of sound on this record,” he added. “Every single influence from the last decade spent on the road plays a part. Things that have been in the back of my mind forever, warped, distorted and pushed to a new place.”
