New from The Spiritual Machines
In 1999, computer science pioneer Ray Kurzweil published "The Age of Spiritual Machines," positing that the super computers that were being developed at that time would eventually develop souls and the impact that would have on the future. A quarter century later, as we begin to comprehend the nature of A.I, borne of the legacy of Kurzweil's predictions, producer/musician Evan Frankfort's band The Spiritual Machines has embraced that narrative as a throughline for their band and new EP, Graviteasing. "The concept of backing up your brain into a hard drive and living in the cloud forever is not something that anybody really debates," Frankfort asserts, mentioning the futurist and transhumanist figure as a major influence on his work. "They just debate on when it's going to happen." Drawing deeply from the rich ore of cinematic Rock like Pink Floyd, and pop prog (think Alan Parsons Project) Graviteasing builds on Frankfort's sizable legacy in record production, film/TV scoring, and electronic and experimental sound design. Indeed, the big eared Frankfort has turned in outstanding work with Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, Plain White T's, The Wallflowers, Warren Zevon, and many other industry greats.

"I'm not necessarily paying tribute but it's in the fabric, right?" Frankfort says of his heroes including Peter Gabriel, Echo and The Bunnymen, Ultravox, and the Replacements. "I took 30 years to actually embrace that sound, in the context of making a record." Indeed, Graviteasing goes many steps beyond any sort of pastiche; it's a looking glass into Frankfort's philosophical, technological, anxieties and yearnings. The music and radio world are now in for a thrill as The Spiritual Machines "Control Is An Illusion" (Would Work Sound) takes flight.

Robert Ross, a Canadian/Australian singer-songwriter, was born and raised in the small towns of New Brunswick, Canada, where the spirit of folk songs and heartfelt music thrived. His passion for music was ignited early, listening to his mother, Betty, sing classic country tunes around the house. This early exposure to the rich tradition of country music laid the foundation for his artistic journey. The weekends in New Brunswick, filled with local dances and socials, were a melting pot of country music that heavily influenced Robert's musical style. Robert's life took a turn when he joined the Canadian Army, serving for 11 and a half years, which included 3 and a half years overseas. His time in the military not only exposed him to diverse cultures and experiences but also deepened his understanding of life's complexities, enriching his music with authenticity and depth.

Gerald Harris' father bought him an acoustic guitar when he was 12 years old, and Gerald has been on a musical journey ever since. His mother taught him to play piano and sing, and in his youth, he was a part of both the youth and adult choirs. When he was 18 Carrie Records offered him an independent recording contract to record a single. After a short-lived R&B career, he went back where he belonged, to God. He's always enjoyed writing, playing, and singing gospel music, and he began doing gospel recording sessions for different choirs, artists, and producers in Nashville and Atlanta. After that, he continued to write and compose, and his wife persuaded him to go back to the studio and do a few demos. This led ultimately to his album, Latter Rain. The album "Hope Faith And Love" almost did not happen because of his bout with colon cancer, "but God brought me through it", says Gerald. With the release of his brand-new single "If I Ever Wondered Why...
