welcome back to the world of progressive darkwave.
our deepest apologies for the delay in communication,
but we've been hard at work putting together an experience
in both sight and sound that we feel you'll be quite satisfied with.

BRAINDANCE RELEASES
‘MASTER OF DISGUISE’
LONG-AWAITED CONCEPT ALBUM
CONTAINING FIVE SINGLES, EPIC TRILOGY,
GROUNDBREAKING PACKAGING AND 16 PAGE COMIC

first off, the new album, 'master of disguise,' our fourth official release and our first
full length concept album, includes the maximum amount of material permitted by law.
for the extensive wait, we've given you 15 tracks - no less than five singles,
two of our trademark sampling collages, the epic three part 'valley of the kings' saga,
and next level songwriting and performances you've come to expect from braindance.

new rhythm guitarist/programmer tony geballe, bassist andy bunk, percussionist stygmie
von skunk-a-loohvff and backing vocalists natalia & beka join renowned
producer/guitarist/songwriter vora vor and singer/songwriter sebastian elliott
in presenting another groundbreaking leap forward.

the phenomenal packaging, designed by sebastian elliott and kevin beard,
contains the 16 page 'master of disguise' comic, written and imagined by elliott,
illustrated by the incredible joe simko, and colored by keiran oats of cadence comics.
picking up individual songs online simply won't do -
the six panel, secret compartment, booklet & foldout containing, gold leaf embossed
digipak from our friends at ross ellis printing is surely destined to be a collector's item.

‘LOST’
FX DRIVEN VIDEO
FOR FIRST SINGLE BECOMES AVAILABLE

then there's the new video for the first single, 'lost,' that we hope you've already seen.
directed by the visionary tony hanson of staten island's fenix studios, the video
combines several key elements already present in the album and extensive packaging.
live performances, thematic action sequences, professional (and not so professional) acting,
eye-grabbing special effects, and computer based visuals built from the ground up make the video
a total feast for the senses. in addition, there's an completely animated video for the song, constructed
by konstantin vilenchitz of kon def productions, that can be accessed from the brainmedia page as well.
