The new Meat Beat Manifesto album “Opaque Couché” will be released on May 10th 2019 on CD, vinyl and digital formats. The double vinyl will come in two flavors – regular black vinyl and a limited-edition opaque couché (brown) picture disc (300 copies worldwide) in association with the UK’s Electronic Sound magazine.

Jack says of the album: “Opaque Couché”* continues the search for the most imperfect pop song, with sixteen opaque tracks it can be seen as a companion to Impossible Star”

* Opaque Couché is known as “the world’s ugliest color”, used on cigarette packets to discourage smoking.

Pre-order all formats here.

For UK/EU Limited Edition Picture Disc.

The first video from the album for “Pin Drop” can be viewed below.

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.

You can preorder the record via Jack’s Bandcamp store, iTunes, and Google Play. Jack has also assembled a Spotify playlist spotlighting some of his favorite MBM tracks. You can listen to it here.
