Tallah Release New Single “augmented”
Looking to continue the madness that they laid out in their first two singles, Tallah released their forthcoming album’s latest single “augmented”.
Touted by the band as a “brutal, groove-heavy offering that throws back to their nu-core roots while flexing the wild experimentation that defines their upcoming album,” the track features some groovy rhythms and a nu-metal-esque sound that encompasses the whole thing.
Bassist Max Portnoy, who moved from drums to bass on this record, said the record is as much a look forward as it is backward.
“Probably the most ‘nu-core’ track on the record. It feels very reminiscent of where we came from but still steps into the sonic world of Primeval, with acoustic guitars and live strings at points. The experimentation is sprinkled on every song this album. I also wrote ‘Augmented’ at the peak of my slap bass interest, and it made for the most intricate bass track in our discography. So many weird techniques crammed into this one. It’s a bitch to play.”
As for the video, which purposely looks like it was shot using old equipment (because it was), Portnoy had this to say:
“In the studio, we wanted to use Josh’s VHS camera to film some cool content, and we decided on ‘augmented’, as it was the first song we jammed together as a unit for this session. It was the song that really got us situated and in the right headspace for this record, so it made sense to film the studio video of this track.”
