With each new release, the quartet of Andrew Bernstein, Max Eilbacher, Owen Gardner and Sam Haberman continue to prove they are one of the most exciting bands out there. Having already shared two insanely brilliant and infectious <a href=\"https:\/\/castthedice.org\/?p=32593\">singles<\/a>, \u2018Eureka 378-B\u2019 and \u2018Brain of the Firm\u2019, the band is offering another jaw-dropping single, \u2018First Galactic Utopia&#8217;. Mesmerizing, exhilarating, and undeniably funky, \u2018First Galactic Utopia&#8217; blends mind-bending intricacies with an irresistible groove. The single comes with an accompanying video directed by Alexander Stewart, who had this to say about it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;I started on a computer by creating looping patterns of dashes and dots using vectors, and drew the frames on paper with a computer-controlled pen plotter, thinking the video would be cool as an animation. Once I saw the patterns animated, I realized that they would be ideal to use with video synthesizers. The textures and colors that the video feedback generated brought the drawn loops into a galactic visual space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Be sure to mark your calendars for the June 12th release of <em>Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!<\/em> through <a href=\"https:\/\/igetrvng.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RVNG Intl<\/a>, it is going to be a truly transcendental listen.
