New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, sees the release of "Holy Arp," THE CRYSTAL METHOD's first single from the upcoming new album THE TRIP HOME (out September 28 On Tiny E Records).

"Holy Arp" shows the legendary EDM act at their very best with a foot-stomping break beat anthem, laced with organic keys and a pumping harmonica line.

With it, TCM's Scott Kirkland gives the first flashes of the cohesive sound that will shape the new studio album, the first helmed by Kirkland alone since co-founding member Ken Jordan retired from the music business.
"As soon as I got that track going, I knew I had found the direction for the new album," Kirkland says of the song. "It reverberates with the sound of Crystal Method classics like 'Name of the Game' and has some of the gnarliness of 'Vapor Trail.' It's an angry, ballsy, bombastic trip down the inner workings of the vintage ARP 2600 synth."

Equal parts throwback and dynamic futurism, THE TRIP HOMEexpands Kirkland's unrestrained curiosity into new realms and new sounds. To perfect this fine balance, Kirkland took a back-to-basics approach, which saw him firing up his arsenal of analog synths and reconnecting with his collection of vintage gear. "Holy Arp" captures this calculated formula perfectly: a brooding intro of darkly tinged bleeps and bloops slowly builds the song's tension before it pours into a bed of chunky synths, distorted reverb and alien sounds. Its minimal, vocal-less melody allows space for the synths to expand and reach a high peak before disintegrating into the ether.
THE CRYSTAL METHOD's 'The Trip Home Tour' dates are below. Tickets are available at www.thecrystalmethod.com.

"'Holy Arp' is a total throwback track, of course utilizing the arp as well as a blistering breakbeat rhythm that harkens back to some of the group's earliest work. The modern mastering and clean production on the track signify a progression in style that still stays rooted in the classics, which is just what we like to see from TCM- Matthew Meadow, YourEDM
