Glam rocker Art d'Ecco's latest album, In Standard Definition, is out now.
Available while supplies last, order the "Silver Screen Edition" and get one of just 300 copies of In Standard Definition pressed on silver vinyl with a limited edition poster included, signed by Art d'Ecco himself. We are also offering a vinyl bundle that includes In Standard Definition on black vinyl alongside d'Ecco's widely acclaimed 2018 release, Trespasser, pressed on purple vinyl.
Adding substance to immaculate style, Art d’Ecco’s latest creation, In Standard Definition, commands attention with every turn. Like channel surfing on an old television set, watching grainy black and white movies or flickering slideshows starring a cross section of humanity, each all-analogue vignette holds up a mirror to pop culture and explores the curiosity of entertainment. Lyrically blurring fact and fiction, it swaggers from the glory days of La La Land’s golden age to today’s obsession with celebrity and its hold over us all. “No matter where you live or what language you speak, there’s an entertainment god for you,” d’Ecco tells. “Whether on TV or writing the books you read, it’s an odd sense of purpose we allocate to these humans whose talent is in distracting us from the doldrums of daily life. We’re constantly searching for something... glued to our phones... consuming various forms of entertainment. We feel less close with each other, and closer to the strangers who make us feel good.” Joining forces with producer/engineer Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, New Pornographers, Destroyer) in ocean-side studio The Hive, In Standard Definition sees d’Ecco packing his heftiest punch yet.
