about

Thousand Yard Stare release a brand new album
‘Earthanasia’ on October 14th through their own Stifled
Aadvark label. The 10 track LP was recorded at Raffer Studios in Kent, England, where they had previously created their 2020 LP ‘The Panglossian Momentum’, their first studio long player in over two decades.

If the previous record was crafted by deliberate design, Earthanansia is more a product of happy accident. Lead singer Stephen Barnes says “There was never any real intention to make another album after The Panglossian Momentum, which was the record we had always wanted to make. It felt like our final statement, all boxes ticked, a full stop. But perhaps because of realising that release, it afforded a freedom to write without internal pressure, a release in a different sense if you like. New tracks began to emerge - hence the recent run of stand alone singles - which allowed us to try different approaches and flavours, shackles off. Songs kept coming and whilst gathering them up, we had a concordant meld of tracks, all the parts for an album - compendium if you like - hiding in plain sight. Much like our debut album (Hands On) back in ’91, which was - as most debuts are - a farrago of your best tracks to that point, and Earthanansia has a similar aesthetic. It was a delightful discovery”.

Earthanansia does not stick to a formula or thematic...the menagerie of songs espouse hope, defiance, wide eyed questioning, contemplation, observation and the human condition in a post pandemic world over an increasingly ambitious soundtrack. From the opening instrumental canter of Brocken Spectre, the chugging call to arms of Measures, the widescreen impertinence of Esprit Du Corps, the crunch-shimmer of Hivemind, wonk- pop of Isadora, the breeze gaze cautionary tale of Adverse Cambers to the string laden filmic vibe of the title track, this is the sound of a band riding their second coming, full of confidence in their skin, exploring the corners of their sound... their moment of serendipity.
Earthanansia may be something of an unexpected child, but still blends seamlessly into the band’s canon. Welcome to the family...
