The Lost Art of Conceptual Evolution
It has been a mere 12 months since Retreat and To Hell With Tradition is back to announce Regroup and Reboot, two simultaneous concept albums, closing out a profound indie-rock trilogy — marking the 7th and 8th self-produced records in 7 years. Created entirely by a single independent mind, this double-release continues to reject the modern singles game to deliver a cohesive, vintage-meets-modern sonic journey exploring simulation theory and existential liberation.
Like not many others, To Hell With Tradition (aka Achim Hofmeyer) has a very keen sense for fusing profound philosophical and spiritual lyricism wrapped in metaphors and allegories with captivating tunes and a broad energetic bandwidth to claim an intriguing territory right in the sweet spot between mainstream and indie. Original music with an increasing share of analogue gear in the creative process. No fast food - concept albums only.
When you fail to see beyond the failed attempt to see beyond: Retreat - Regroup - Reboot. Because reality is but a band-aid on the shimmering wound of existence.
