Jeff Mills has shared details of a new album, titled The Eyewitness.
Comprised of nine tracks, it explores themes of shock and trauma, and follows on from the Detroit artist’s recent record, The Trip: Enter The Black Hole, which was themed around black holes and accompanied by an immersive live show.
In a statement about The Eyewitness, Mills said: “Trauma and the shock effect of it – the leftover residue of harsh reality so impactful that it shapes the way you imagine, envision and calculate your position in regard to everything and everyone around you.
“A new type of psychological radius evolves. Boundaries are reinforced. Relationships are recessed. A damaged brief system float aimlessly. Vulnerable to and for anything reminiscent of a worthy cause. The truth about facts became satirical monologue, dead end expressions that have no critical arrangement. We all know someone that either has been or will be.”
You can listen to the record’s lead track, ‘Those Who Worked Against Us (Vendetta Mix)’, below.
Axis will release The Eyewitness on July 5, 2024.
