@ Announce New Album Are You There God? It’s Me
@ (pronounced “At”) is the project of vocalist/guitarist Victoria Rose and multi-instrumentalist Stone Filipczak. Formed while its members were living in Philadelphia and Baltimore respectively, @’s musical bond was built via text message beginning in 2020 and eventually resulted in the release of their debut LP Mind Palace Music, which came out on Carpark Records in early 2023.
Today, @ have returned to announce a new EP, Are You There God? It’s Me, @. The EP will be released on Carpark on January 12th, 2024, and to mark the announce the band are sharing a new single called “Soul Hole,” which is accompanied by a mind-bending video created by Devon Voelkel. Following the EP’s release @ will be making the UK/EU debut with a full tour that includes dates with Speedy Ortiz.
Rose says of the song:
“The vocal loop of this song was found as a recording which I have no recollection of making. It was quantized and developed into a track about going to the “Soul Hole”, a place where worldly desires and materiality do not exist.”
Of the video Voelkel adds:
“The music video for Soul Hole tries to answer the simple question: “What is Car World?”
Car World is a community-led organization for the greater good, on a mission to rescue the Attendants – an alien species in an alternate universe. This mission is headed by William Banks, a Brooklyn comedian and the to-be savior of Car World (which is Earth World in Arm Universe). Most further questions can be answered in video, which does its best to cover the broad strokes of Car World, its mission, and its origin.
We were also lucky enough to use the power of computer graphics to create the most realistic depiction to date of William’s journey to Car World, and what it might have been like to be there.
As the Leader of Car World Philadelphia, it has been an honor.”
