Prefuse 73 → New Strategies For Modern Crime Vol. 2

Pioneering electronic musician and producer Prefuse 73 shares his latest long-player New Strategies for Modern Crime Vol. 2. and the video for Complete Rejection directed by award winning Maxim Kelly.

The companion album to Vol. 1 released in March, New Strategies for Modern Crime Vol. 2 sees Herren continue evolving his groundbreaking take on experimental composition through the lens of the media’s sensationalism of crime, blended with influences from lost soundtracks, musique concrète, jazz and beat-tape music to create something wholly unique.

One of the darkest yet cohesive releases of his career, the two companion albums were inspired by Herren’s experiences of living in New York. He reflects: “I’ve lived in NYC since the 90s but I think during the post-COVID era, most ‘media’ has become obsessed with crime statistics and inflated ‘fear’ over basic human needs. I wanted to channel this surreal landscape - where crime has become a strange form of entertainment and journalistic distraction, into sound.”
