THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Julian Casblancas + The Voidz’ third album Like All Before You was meticulously crafted at the band’s home studio in Venice, CA and the renowned Vox Studios in Los Angeles. The band collaborated with producers Ivan Wayman (Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, War on Drugs), Justin Raisen (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kim Gordon, Yves Tumor), and Sad Pony (Lil Yachty, Drake) on several tracks.
As the frontman and sole songwriter of The Strokes, Casablancas helped ignite a depth charge that helped reinvigorate modern music. In 2013, he morphed into the next stage in his artistic development: The Voidz. Over the course of two albums — the daring 2014 debut Tyranny and its 2018 followup Virtue — their wild genre splicing was embraced by fans of all genres and critics alike, developing an underground cult following.
In addition to Casablancas, The Voidz are bolstered by the remarkable talents of outsized personalities like the visionistic guitarist Beardo, virtuosic guitarist Amir Yaghami, greatest drummer you never heard of Alex Carapetis, composer Jeff Kite on synths and spiritual anchor / man behind the words / bassist / keyboardist Jake Bercovici.
From experimental and heavy metal, to new wave and underground world music, all the way to old school hip-hop beats, indie rock, secret jazz, and classical leanings, The Voidz simply refer to their style (semi-jokingly) as “prison jazz.” They’ve also furthered their mutant-pop tendencies via collaborations with like-minded artists as diverse as Daft Punk (Instant Crush, Infinity Repeating), Mac DeMarco (Did My Best), and an original song for Grand Theft Auto.
Like All Before You promises to continue surprising audiences with its blend of grit and beauty. The album continues to build the intricate lore of The Voidz, inviting listeners further into their unique, otherworldly dimensions.”
