Interview with Our Lady Peace
We had the pleasure of interviewing Our Lady Peace over Zoom video!
Our Lady Peace\xa0released their upbeat, tecnicolor groove track \u201cFuture Disease,\u201d the second single off their upcoming album \u2018Spiritual Machines II\u2019 which will drop on January 28th.\xa0Blending catchy rhythms, guitars, and bass, this 80\u2019s inspired alt-pop reflection represents all things\xa0Our Lady Peace\xa0- addressing the future, having humility, and the importance of healing as a society and the journey that comes with it.\xa0This follows their recent US \u201cStop Making Stupid People Famous\u201d tour announcement\xa0where they will be hitting cities like NYC, LA, Boston, Detroit, etc in November. Full dates below.
\u201cFuture Disease is the bridge between Spiritual Machines & Spiritual Machines II.\xa0This song echoes some of the sonic flavors & production techniques from the original album. It gives us comfort to have a track that ties the two albums together.\u201d -\xa0Raine Maida
Earlier this fall,\xa0Our Lady Peace\xa0announced the sequel to their critically acclaimed 2000\u2019s album \u2018Spiritual Machines\u2019, a record which has become a pillar of late 90s alt rock and a prime example of their band\u2019s creative brilliance. \u2018Spiritual Machines II\u2019 will serve as the answer to their 2000 LP which was influenced by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil\u2019s book \u201cThe Age Of The Spiritual Machines.\u201d \u2018 Spiritual Machines II\u2019 is the anti-rock record Our Lady Peace fans have been waiting for.\xa0
Produced by TV On The Radio\u2019s Dave Sitek (with additional production by Jason Lader on three tracks), the album features the return of Kurzweil with new predictions such as near-future with UBI (Universal Basic Income), AI that will pass the Turing Test by 2029, and sustainable solutions to ending global hunger and poverty. \u2018Spiritual Machines II\u2019 marks an uplifting new chapter for OLP as it carves out a new genre that is best described as future rock with each song crafted to represent the new predictions for our future as a society.\xa0
Last summer,\xa0Our Lady Peace\xa0released the first track off the forthcoming album, \u201cStop Making Stupid People Famous\u201d featuring Pussy Riot with a video to pair. The track is a reflection on celebrity influencer culture and how it has weakened the fibers of society. The choreography-ladened\xa0video uniquely contrasts the tongue-in-cheek nature of the song with carefree and colorful visuals, highlighting young activists and leaders that society should actually be making famous.\xa0
They also introduced their\xa0Future Famous\xa0program, which recognizes a wide range of exceptional people in different fields (science, environmentalism, music, art, etc) who are making a real difference in the world. Learn more at\xa0www.futurefamous.org.
