As far as the title goes, it’s based off an impossible object. So the main difference between this one and the previous album is I had a bigger selection to choose from. The last album came out in 2010, and we went on tour in 2011 and had various things happen. I mean it could have been a quadruple album or CD or whatever, but I like to keep it down to the normal sort of length. I had about 30 songs all done and completed. So this is the first time I had the luxury of being able to pick songs from a bigger well than usual. Well it’s been stretched out over a longer period of time then my usual records take. On your website you describe it as “an MC Escher optical illusion which spirals around and around and never seems to end.” Can you talk about those inspirations and what the creative process was like this time around? Enjoy the Q&A below.įirst off, I’ve had a chance to listen to the new album and I’ve really enjoyed it.

I recently interviewed Dangers about Impossible Star, his take on the Trump era, his creative process, touring plans for 2018 and more. It’s a dynamic, deeply layered album that draws upon some of his most iconic sonic elements–dark, evocative and hallucinatory, offering a disquieting sonic tapestry that feels in sync with our tumultuous present. Now Dangers is back with Impossible Star, his latest Meat Beat Manifesto release. His last full-length album was 2010’s Answers Come In Dreams, one of his most experimental albums to date. In a sense, he’s his own micro-genre.ĭangers has kept a low profile the past few years. But Meat Beat Manifesto’s presence is unique–always ahead of the curve, and never slavish to any one sound. He’s had his fingerprints on a variety of electronic sub-genres, from industrial to ambient to trip-hop, big beat and electronica. Jack Dangers has been one of the most innovative and influential figures in electronic music, beginning in the late 80’s with his pioneering act Meat Beat Manifesto.
