Unleash The Archers is back with a powerful new single "Green & Glass" alongside the announcement of their AI inspired concept album Phantoma, due out May 10.
The concept behind Phantoma was written by frontwoman and lyricist Brittney Slayes and follows protagonist Phantoma, a Phase 4 / Network Tier 0 unit – model A, through trials of AI gaining sentience on a dystopian, near-future planet earth.
"We struggled for a while to decide which song would lead the way for this record, and in the end chose 'Green & Glass' because it is the song that inspired the cover artwork, but also because it doesn't give too much away about the concept behind the album," said Unleash The Archers of the album and single.
"We wanted nothing more than to be able to create a fully cinematic retelling of the story through our music videos, and were so stoked when the boys at RuneGate Studio expressed an interest in learning how to use Stable Diffusion to make our dreams come true! They trained the model on the work of Bo Bradshaw, which gives it a beautifully unique animation style; we got to bring his magnificent t-shirt artwork to life!"
