Ready Fire Aim Debut

03/20/2008
. (PR) rephlektor inkorporated and Expansion Team Records are pleased to announce the May 27 release of Ready Fire Aim's debut CD This Changes Nothing. A collaboration between singer, poet, author, actor and political commentator Sage Rader and DJ/ producer Shaun Morris (AKA Stakka), Ready Fire Aim have come up with a stealth concept album that conjures shades of Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Postal Service and even Pink Floyd, but with a twisted, hyper-processed and hypnotic sound that truly sets them apart. And you can dance to it.

From the creepy opening strains of electric violin squeezed and squelched through a phalanx of effects pedals on "End of Over," to the Reznor-esque clipped beats and crackles of "Lush But Dark," the album is a raucous journey through electronic beat styles and modes of signal manipulation, often harking back to '80s Brit synth pop, but also conjuring the dystopic dreams of a music from the future.

Vocally, Sage runs the gamut from gravel-voiced romantic with a dark secret ("Happy Love Song") to caterwauling champ who could give Perry Farrell a run for his lucre ("I Would for You.") Lyrically, he tackles topics ranging from relationships long past their prime (on the club-funky anthem "Beautiful Thing") to backroom jockeying for power (the rocked-out "Laff It Up").
