The faces that you know The faces that you don't know Broken pieces and scattered teeth Could it be you're not the one that's weak? A broken mirror that only deflects itself Can't be seen that way out of this trying harder A broken record that only deflects itself Can't be seen that way out of this getting starter Is this thing on? You know this thing is on, right? Doesn't seem your path was wrong here Pointed out the way you can't fear Looking ahead, the past is so clear As it shrieks down the street in its reverse gear A broken record

about

Starter is the first advance single off of the forthcoming Newphasemusic album The Dark Side of the Earth. It's the first song written for this project, and it's one of my favorites. To celebrate the launch of this next chapter, Dan Milligan of The Joy Thieves and Rona Rougeheart of SINE were gracious enough to contribute slamming remixes, and Colin C. of Slighter applied the final touches. The result is fantastic! I hope that you enjoy this visceral percussive adventure as much as I do. ~Daniel

"As a drummer myself, I was immediately sucked in by the ball-breaking drums on the Geodome Mix, one of three mixes that will be available. Nice, sharp and tight double-kick metal drums dominate this track in a way that I wish more acts would consider; utilize different aspects of metal aside from the palm muted chugging guitars. The rest of the track is comprised of a looping siren-like wail, creepy keyboards, and vocals delivered with a whispered growl. The lyrics convey a message to the listener that while everything around them may be going off the rails, it doesn’t reflect their own character or their decisions.... I’m very excited about Newphasemusic and the forthcoming full-length release, The Dark Side of the Earth. The Geodome Mix is already on my smartphone playlist."

"For all the darkness it displays musically, “Starters” offers a hint or two of optimism. From cold and robotic to a menacing mix of industrial, metal, jazz and blues (!) to somewhat reminiscent of Devo and old Prince (!), the three mixes of “Starter” are an exercise of ignoring boundaries without completely changing to reach mainstream popularity. And a promising preview of Newphasemusic’s debut full length “The Dark Side of the Earth” which will be released this year."

Onyx Music Reviews onyxmusicreviews.com/2022/05/15/newphasemusic-starter/ :
"The electronic alarms have sounded in this rhythm heavy piece, with the synths wailing lightly in the background. Obtuse, discordant piano keys or is that chimes (?) flutter through, all the while distorted vocals feel like the lips could be up against your ear. The second version is by Dan Milligan, the lynch pin of the mega group The Joy Thieves and another drummer by trade. This remix has strut, like it owns the hood with its base loaded tones, aggressive guitar and rhythms. The third remix is by SINE’s Rona Rougeheart and ooh…..wubby. It is a little sexy and a little slinky, there is a beat throughout but the concentration is on the electronics as they slide up and down, pulsating. Kind of trippy listening to these three interpretations. The versions, with drummers, Henderson and Milligan, definitely are classy beat heavy affairs that you can bang your head to, while the SINE mix will probably have your whole body gyrating. This is the not so calm before the album hits us."
