At long last, the Back To The Future The Ride masterpiece ‘Pronoia Sunsets’ is now available online! And for free at that!

Yesterday we made the Back To The Future The Ride album ‘Mtv’ available as a free download to everyone, but today we’ve added something even more significant to the band’s online presence.

In 2010, the label Accidie Records released what is hands down the shinning star of the Back To The Future The Ride catalog. A cassette called ‘Pronoia Sunsets’ which yeilded two music videos, “Zero Ghost” and “Black Bones Inside the Sun, Pink Bones Encircling the Sun”. But shortly after this cassette was released, the master digital files were misplaced and the only way to hear the rest of the album has been by owning the tape.

Yesterday, at long last these digital masters were tracked down. So, for the first time ever, I am very excited to share with everyone a free digital copy of this fantastic album. The download includes copies of both the music videos from the album as well! Enjoy everyone!

and just for good measure, here are embeds for the music videos:

Just a heads up that the Back To The Future The Ride album ‘Mtv’ is now available to download for free from our bandcamp page. This album, loosely themed around 80s action movies and boyhood interests in general, was originally released as a cassette on Deathbomb Arc. For those unfamiliar with the act, Back To The Future The Ride is retired solo project from Brian Miller (hey, that’s me!) of Foot Village. All music for the project performed on a photocell triggered synth and single reverb unit. Minimal in instrumentation, but expansive in sound. The act eventually evolved into True Neutral, which will be releasing more music this year.

The Back To The Future The Ride album ‘Chatroom Enhancing Drugs’ is now available through the Deathbomb Arc bandcamp page. You can name your own price… free if you’re on a tight budget, or throw down a couple bucks to help the cause!

‘Chatroom Enhancing Drugs’ collects all the Back To The Future The Ride tracks from comps and singles, plus a couple previously unreleased songs. This was also the last release under this name before transforming into True Neutral. Enjoy!!!

My debut cassette is on pre-order now. Side A of the cassette is an audiobook version of Patrick Wensink’s new novel ‘Broken Piano For President’, which I did the score to. Side B is just the score on its own with some bonus tracks inspired by the novel. Also some collaborations I’ve done with Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt), Ezra Buchla (ex-Gowns / EMA contributor), and Christina Gubala.

Patrick Wensink has made this cute webmercial for his new novel & audiobook ‘Broken Piano for President’. I’ll let it speak for itself, but to me, the funniest part is the inclusion of text from a rejection letter he got from Viking Press.

BTW, the novel is available NOW via Lazy Fascist Press and the audiobook is on presale now via Deathbomb Arc. The score to the audiobook was composed by me under my new solo pseudonym True Neutral, with the help of some very talented guests such as Christina Gubala and Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt / Black Pus).

ANNOUNCING TWO NEW RELEASES ON DEATHBOMB ARC!

These both have been a long time in the planning, I am very excited to finally make it official. The first is a triple LP anthology of my favorite band of all time, rRope. Active in the mid 90s and based in San Francisco, rRope are a noise rock act unlike any I’ve ever heard. Harder than My Bloody Valentine, more experimental and dreamy than your average Touch n’ Go band, they were an incredible force in the 90s California music scene. Their music has been primarily unavailable for nearly 2 decades. We’ve collected all their albums, 7”s and comp tracks and remastered everything. The triple LP comes out in early May, but pre-orders get an immediate digital download of the entire album. 

The second is our first exploration into releasing an audiobook. ‘Broken Piano For President’ is the literal books on tape version of Patrick Wensink’s 3rd novel. Read by the author and with a score by True Neutral (member of Foot Village). The cassette has the readings with score on side a, and just the music on side b, plus a bonus theme song called “Call on the Herd”. Guest musicians on the release are Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt/Black Pus), Ezra Buchla (ex-Gowns, EMA contributor), and Christina Gubala. Cassettes ship in early April and come with a download code. We also have limited copies of a deluxe edition that comes with a signed copy of the novel.
