Los Angeles-via-Princeton producer Com Truise (a.k.a. Seth Haley) is back with a new EP, Silicon Tare, due April 1 via Ghostly International. The five-track effort is the third chapter in a sci-fi odyssey that spans 2011's far-out Galactic Melt LP and its thematic follow-up, 2014's Wave 1 EP. At the conclusion of the latter, according to Haley, "The protagonist, Earth’s first synthetic astronaut, successfully makes contact with the far-off Wave 1 colony but, once he does, things get fuzzy. He falls in love; there is a war coming. A story that began in hope and dreams of discovery ends on an uncertain note. Change is in the air." In the spirit of this interstellar voyage, the EP's retro-futuristic first listen, "Diffraction," is a cosmic pinball machine of scattered synth blasts. Listen below, and find Silicon Tare's track list, along with Com Truise's upcoming tour dates with STRFKR. Silicon Tare track list: 1. "Sunspot" 2. "Forgive" 3. "Diffraction" 4. "Silicon Tare" 5.
