Official press release:
Austria’s Tripsitter are the newest members of the Prosthetic Records roster and have just unveiled their debut single “The Dreamer” from upcoming new album, The Other Side Of Sadness. Listen now via Kerrang!:
The band comments:
“‘The Dreamer’ is about struggling with your inner demons, about overcoming your own fears and dreaming about a better life. To have aspirations and hope but courage and self-doubt weighing you down and making these dreams an unreachable task. ‘The Dreamer’ is for everyone who has made sacrifice and compromise whilst fighting an internal battle.”
The full length album, The Other Side Of Sadness is set for official release on April 19, 2019 and is available to pre-order now at this link.
The debut LP The Other Side Of Sadness was recorded live in a cabin in Austria; perfectly capturing their music in a moment, a time capsule. Something that was their for a second then gone. Tripsitter believes this impulsive way of recording highlights their flaws and skills perfectly and ties into the running themes of the album showcasing real human perfections and imperfections. The album was mixed at the Ranch Production House in the UK by Lewis Johns (Funeral For A Friend, Employed To Serve, Svalbard) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege to master (Converge, Code Orange, Defeater). The band states:
“The Other Side Of Sadness is more than just Music, It’s our own evaluation of the mind. The individual problems and reflected experiences of the four band members tell a cathartic story of depression leading through the album like a red thread. It is a struggle between hope and despair. The entire album is composed like an audiobook presenting a symbiosis of music and text.”
