about

'Finding Metal In the Cracks Of The Pavement', a second single from Stereo Minus One's recent album, arrives on 3 November 2023.

We've added a couple of exclusive tracks: the demo of an unreleased track called 'The Same River Once' and an extended mix of album-track 'Missed'. These were both part of the original running order on 'Everything Is So Beautiful, I Need to Lie Down', the ninth album from Stereo Minus One, aka Dan Haines Cohen, which was released on 22 September 2023, but didn't make the final cut.

(The original mix of 'Two-Three-Seven Folds On The Five-Eight-Nine', which was also part of the album until very near its completion, remains under wraps...)

"I'm nearly always making music for a freaky sort of chill-out room, off to the side of a rave somewhere," Dan explains. "But it's that time of the night when all your senses have been overloaded. You find yourself in a quieter space but, rather than relaxing you, the relative quiet confronts you with the sound of your own heart-beat, the racing of your pulse, the feeling of sweat on your skin. Being alive is endlessly intense in the rare moments when we actually grasp it. Sound, noise, and music don't recede at those times, it turns out the universe is really noisy even in the deepest mental depths."

"The album is made for those ecstatic moments. Those moments when you become aware of the millions little things and sounds that normally don't enter your awareness at all. By the time you see your mates again, you might not be too sure what tunes were being played or what just happened. Blinding night though!”
