Crime In Stereo's 'Is Dead' is a groundbreaking record. Unlike anything the band or Bridge Nine Records have ever released, it defies easy categorization. It's a punk - hardcore blend, intricately crafted from start to finish. Produced by Mike Sapone, known for Brand New's 'The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me', the band created their most ambitious album yet. It features the familiar Crime In Stereo sound in 'Nixon', and shows their explosive side in 'XXXX (The First Thousand Years of Solitude)', catchiness in 'Animal Pharm', and ambient style in 'Small Skeletal' and 'Unfortunate Tourist'. The album ends with 'Orbiter' and 'Choker', two songs with similar chord progressions at different speeds and lyrical mirror - image bridges. As 'Alternative Vision' in the UK says, it's an experience you'll want to revisit again and again. Tracklist: 1. XXXX (The First Thousand Years Of Solitude), 2. Third Atlantic, 3....But You Are Vast, 4. Animal Pharm, 5. Small Skeletal, 6. Unfortunate Tourist, 7. Nixon, 8. Vicious Teeth, 9. Almost Ghostless/Above The Gathering Oceans, 10. Orbiter, 11. Choker.
