Electronic dance trio Beats Antique have confirmed details regarding their seventh studio album A Thousand Faces-Act 1.The album is slated for release on October 15 via Beats Antique Records. The group will present the project as part of a major national tour launching October 3 in Salt Lake City.

As of the process behind their new album, the trio explains:

Teaming with a group of renowned artistic collaborators stemming from their San Francisco hometown and Obscura Digital, the acclaimed live art projections company whose work with Google, the Guggenheim, and the royalty of Dubai has delighted audiences around the world, Beats Antique’s new album and live performance art project A Thousand Faces delivers the band’s signature mix of electronica and world-fusion beyond the sonic realm into a multimedia extravaganza that’s part odyssey and part genre-warping rock opera.

A two-volume endeavor with a highly theatrical live-show counterpart, A Thousand Faces encapsulates each stage of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey in 22 sweeping and lushly textured tracks. While the accompanying show will carry audiences through the complete journey, A Thousand Faces–Act 1 represents just the first half of the monomyth, with the second volume due out next spring.

Beats Antique’s David Satori elaborates, “ “A Thousand Faces is meant to be an adventure for the audience, a wild ride that takes them through these mystical lands all across the globe.” “This is a universal story that’s been told for thousand of years,” notes band member Zoe Jakes. “Each one of us is a spoke in the wheel of the monomyth, and there’s a deep sense of unity in all of us sharing the same story.”

A Thousand Faces–Act 1 features several guests, including Les Claypool and sarod player Alam Khan (son of legendary classical Indian musician Ali Akbar Khan).

With technology and production helmed by Obscura Digital, the show will feature visual production by Ivan Landau (Æon Flux, Sin City, Blade Runner). Also partnering with illustrator Leighton Kelly (who teamed up with Landau on the video for “Revival,” a track off of Beats Antique’s 2010 album Blind Threshold), the group has created a multimedia spectacle that’s rich in sensory stimulation. Part of the art for the stage production will even stem from a collection of works created the fans themselves.
