In a strange twist of serendipitous fate, we have released a new Agromaniac album about deep space radio telescopy in the same week that the famous Arecibo Observatory has been slated for decommissioning. Arecibo was once the world’s largest telescope and radar transmitter for detecting and even imaging objects in space. In 1974, a message from humanity was transmitted from Arecibo towards the star cluster Messier 13 in hopes that extraterrestrial life may someday respond.

On The Agromaniac’s new album, he “captures” that response as if listening in to shortwave communications emanating from some sort of command center. Let your imagination roam and your intuition decipher the code through the noise and static.
