Interesting Times Gang (Ian Miller of Kowloon Walled City) shares grimy new industrial dub track, “Fentanyl Theme”
On October 15, Interesting Times Gang—the solo electronic/dub project of Kowloon Walled City‘s Ian Miller—will release new album Beats, No Rhymes, No Life (a cheeky nod to A Tribe Called Quest) via Pax Aeternum. Today, Miller has shared a new track from the album, “Fentanyl Theme,” which juxtaposes brash bursts of psychedelia against trap beats and a grimy, scuzzy bassline, bridging progressive rock grandeur with the distorted menace of industrial menace a la Godflesh.
Miller says of the new track in a statement, “I’d been trying to work this Strawbs sample into a song for like 5 years, and I feel like I finally did it justice. There’s pathos and drama and distortion — lots and lots of distortion.”
