Listen To Particle’s Accelerated New Single, ‘Home Away From Home’ – Premiere
2016 is shaping up to be a huge year for Particle. The jamtronica pioneers are planning the release their first album, Accelerator, in over a decade, and fans new and old couldn’t be happier with the band’s current sound. The new creative energy has been quite the source of excitement on their winter tour, and this year is only just getting started.We’re fortunate to be able to share the very first track from Accelerator. Titled “Home Away From Home,” the spacey jam was actually inspired by the discovery of an earth-like exoplanet called Kepler 452-b. As keyboardist Steve Molitz explains, “Scientists have theorized that future humans could live there, so this song imagines what might happen to us upon our arrival to this distant new home.”Listen to the futuristic “Home Away From Home” below:With such a unique blend of sounds on the track, we asked Molitz to shed some light on how it was made. “There’s a ton of sound design on the track that helps transport the listener on an audio journey, much like the old-time radio shows used to do before the advent of television. Conceptually, the song is kind of a mix of the old Twilight Zone and the new Battlestar Galactica.” He continues, “Musically, the song combines elements of Drum & Bass, Breakbeat and House to create a sound that I can only describe as pure Particle space porn!”Pure Particle space porn indeed! If this progressive composition is any indication of what’s to come on Accelerator, fans are certainly in for a treat. The new song is one of many that Particle has been playing live in 2016, with a whole album’s worth of tunes to get live music fans in the groove. It’s a great time to be a fan, as Particle continues their evolution into one of the best bands in the scene.Don’t miss the group on tour!
