Meat Beat Manifesto has announced a new record. “Impossible Star” is to be released on January 19, 2018 via Flexidisc with distribution by Virtual Label. It is available for preorder on CD, digital, and vinyl. Drawing on the paranoid and surreal political and cultural climate, Jack Dangers likens the record “to an MC Escher optical illusion which spirals around and around and never seems to end.” MBM will perform this year on day 2 of Cold Waves LA, on November 11th, at the Regent Theater in Los Angeles, preforming alongside Revolting Cocks and MC900 FT Jesus. Tour dates for the new year are forthcoming.

6.9 / 10

Influential sample maestro Jack Dangers’ first album since 2010 is a moody, playful exhibition of his strengths.

Meat Beat Manifesto were far more prolific throughout the 1990s and 2000s than they were during the 2010s -- 2018's Impossible Star is only their second full-length of the decade, following Answers Come in Dreams by eight years.

Jack Dangers has been producing electronic music as one part (sometimes the only part) of Meat Beat Manifesto for 30 years now.
