But now they are showing him as grown and alive. He was valerie Bertinelli and Van Halen's son who fell from a balcony and died many years ago." (continue)

The Spiritual Machines, led by producer/musician Evan Frankfort, release new album Lockhearted, inspired by Ray Kurzweil and his prediction that computers would eventually develop souls. The band also shared an eye-popping video for "Cracks in the Silver Lining" directed by Connor Clarke about letting go of what keeps us chained and letting the light into our lives.
Listen to Lockhearted
Inspired by the aforementioned pioneer/futurist and his 1999 book The Age Of Spiritual Machines, Lockhearted takes Kurzweil's predictions and applies them to the era of AI. This provides a thematic throughline for the album, but the LP is far from a bleak statement on the horrors of the present and the anxieties of the future. Rather, it finds Frankfort looking inwards and taking stock of what's important in his life - family, connection and staying true to your belief systems and morals. (continue)
