Innerpartysystem Announce Mini Album

• 27th Jan 2011

Innerpartysystem are set to release a Mini Album of new material titled ‘Never Be Content’ on 7th March. This follows the band’s trip to the UK in January during which they’re set to play to a sold out Madame JoJo’s crowd as well as headlining a special Red Bull Records event. The Red Bull Records Party will take place at Corsica Studios on 21st January and the line-up also includes Adam Freeland, Braiden, Untold and Novak 3D Disco.

Jared Piccone (drums / programming), who is one third of Innerpartysystem along with Patrick Nissley (vocals / synths / programming) and Kris Barman (guitars / synths / programming), is in no doubt as to how important this release is for the band. He described the process as being “a lot more comfortable than last time. We know what we do well, we know what we need to work on, and we wrote songs accordingly.” The trio have amassed a wealth of technology which helps them translate the sounds they create in their heads into actual audio – “Being the gear addicts that we are, we have accumulated a serious amount of analog and digital toys since the making of the last record, which has made the whole writing/recording/producing process a great time. Having gear accessible has made the whole process go a lot smoother. There's no excuse now, if you hear something in your head, there is something in your general vicinity that you can make that sound with.”

While the three guys recorded and produced most of the tracks themselves, renowned producer Richard X (MIA, Kelis, Annie, Goldfrapp) contributed additional production and mixing. Patrick Nissley of the band said of the collaboration – “When it came time to mix this collection of tracks, we know exactly who we wanted. We wanted it to be as crisp and sharp as human ears could take, without losing the edge and hard hitting attitude we program with. We were beyond pleased when Richard accepted our invitation to work on this mini album with us. He brought an element to the end result that was way better than we could have hoped for.” Innerpartysystem are accomplished remixers themselves, having completed remixes for the likes of 30 Seconds To Mars, Katy Perry, the Killers, Keane, Kaskade, and Ladyhawke.
