New about my first solo project, post-Back To The Future The Ride. 

deathbomb:

In 2012 Deathbomb Arc heads into new territory, even for us. We are teaming up with author Patrick Wensink to release the books on tape version of his forthcoming 3rd novel Broken Piano for President (published by Lazy Fascist Press). The cassette will feature a soundtrack composed by Brian Miller (hey, that’s me!) of Foot Village / Back To The Future The Ride. We will also be offering a deluxe edition including a copy of both the novel and cassette. 

Broken Piano for President is a ludicrous world where the lives of noise musicians, burger moguls, astronauts, and meth addicts get caught in one baffling knot. Stay tuned for more.

Both ‘Gay Wish’ and ‘Chatroom Enhancing Drugs’ by Back To The Future The Ride made Impose magazine’s best free albums of the year list! Also joined by AIDS Wolf and a bunch of other charitable acts. Check it out at: http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/best-free-music-of-2011

Just noticed that the ‘Pronoia Sunsets’ cassette on Accidie is now sold out. This means the only Back To The Future The Ride cassette still in print is ‘Neutino Based Lifeforms”. Get one while you can from the label that put it out, 5nakefork. It is unlikely that any of the 4 BTTFtr cassettes will be back in print… ever?

Get Off The Coast blog shares some kind words about the latest BTTFtr album:

“Brian Miller is a forever busy kinda dude, and he keeps it that way. For many being a part of the drum & vocal legends Foot Village would be enough, but Brian also toils away on other things like his record label, Deathbomb Arc, and various side projects such as Back To The Future The Ride. It’s been a while since we last heard from BTTFtr, but yesterday Miller released Chatroom Enhancing Drugs. The album is a collection of singles and compilation tracks, as well as 3 previously unreleased tracks (one of which is a remix from tik///tik aliasSatisHouse of entire BTTFtr album Neutrino Based Lifeforms.) With Miller as busy as he is it’s always exciting to hear new music from him, so we’ll try to keep his schedule in mind as we beg and plead for the next album to come ASAP.”

- I promise, new music soon as my new alias True Neutral. Promise.

Very sweet review of my “real” last album. In case you missed the late night post last night, here is a link to my “fake” last album: http://deathbombarc.com/DBA114

Back To The Future The Ride - Gay Wish

This is the last “major” release from Back To The Future The Ride, besides a b-sides compilation—Brian Miller, the guy behind BTTFTR, is starting a new project called True Neutral, so all is not lost—and he’s got the audacity to release something so short and so spectacular. It’s less than twenty minutes long and, for my money, the best bit of warm ambient noise released this year. Back again is the massive guitar noise, with some new added elements like vocals (both sampled snippets and auto-tuned dada-poems). It also includes a scarce cover of classic surf song Blue Hawaii. The elements of the original song are, at best, barely there and, at worst, entirely nonexistent. But the escapism is palpable—think Terry Gilliam’s Brazil—beneath the dust and mechanical grays, color and light are shining through. 

I guess I should have seen this coming. Ending a journey that bends time itself is not an easy one to get off of. So, despite the recent “end” of Back To The Future The Ride, here is another album called ‘Chatroom Enhancing Drugs’. Feel like you’ve heard some of these songs before? Thats just the time bending for you. Or as the music industry would call it, a rarities compilation. So here it is, all the Back To The Future The Ride songs from comps and singles, plus two unreleased tracks (“Ghosts Outside of Argentina” & “The Cathedral of Orange in the City of Red”) and an unreleased remix by SatisHouse. All for free, with gorgeous artwork by Peter Burr. Get it here: http://deathbombarc.com/DBA114/  and please share!

As probably most of you have heard by now, the music blog Altered Zones has called it a day. For the brief span of time it existed, this site did a great job of bringing a lot of DIY/experimental music to the attention of a lot of folks (all Pitchfork politics / chillwave baggage aside). 

So, thank you to everyone at Altered Zones for the experiment in bringing bloggers together. The future can only be better… right?

Till this mythical future occurs, here are a few of the Altered Zones articles on Deathbomb Arc acts:

Back To The Future The Ride “Sleep on Stars Tonight”
Captain Ahab “The Kingdom of Light”
Foot Village “Let Bebongs Be Bebongs, Idiot”
