Mutually Assured Distraction is a sonic salve for the pervasive numbness induced by an emotionally disconnective artificiality that seeks to pacify with counterfeit happiness; the album offers an antidote to mundane superficiality with nine musical masterpieces that convey the depth of human experience and authentic creative expression. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe progression of track titles symbolically represents the arc of this soulful journey through an evocative auditory landscape of moods, harmonies, and textures, progressing from the haunting opening \"I Belong to Nowhere\" to the penultimate \"Home In This World\" before arriving at the concluding \"Endless Drift.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe synthesised musical mastery of renegade musicians Simon Posford and Benji Vaughan is complemented by the contributions of some supremely skilful musicians, with beguiling vocals by MiraBelle Rose and Jay Marsh and the rich cello of Rena Jones. With poignant lyrics that speak to the universal human condition in a world where voices are amplified yet so many feel unheard, Mutually Assured Distraction provides, through it's fusion of electronic and real-world music-making, an example of how technology can pair harmoniously with our humanity - an energetic homecoming as the music draws us away from the unconscious scroll into an open field where we can embody our essential nature. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album stands as both a reflection of our times and a timeless reminder that beneath the noise, a deeper presence continually exists, waiting to be felt, heard, and expressed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTour dates for July\/ August in Denver, San Fran and New York and London in May.
