    *CD EDITION INLCUDES ARTWORK BOOKLET (CONCERTINA 12 PAGE BOOKLET) BY NIC ENDO

    Atari Teenage Riot’s first album released through L.A. future stomp label Dim Mak,
    is an acetylene laced documentation of ATR’s re-ignition after an eleven year silence.
    Produced, mixed, recorded with Alec Empire, Nic Endo and new ATR member CX Kidtronik (Saul Williams / Nine Inch Nails)
    at ATR’s fourth studio release was made at the Hellish Vortex studio in Berlin.

    A cultural cold war divided upon class lines, a new age of surveillance,
    heroes’ incarcerated in the worst conditions possible for speaking out against the military complex,
    a corrupt press core owned by multi-national corporations and raised to repeat sound bytes.
    This is the post-cyberpunk world on the brink of collapse Atari Teenage Riot’s fourth album "Is This Hyperreal?" is born into.

    Every track is a iridescent explosion of nervous energy requesting your attendance in Atari Teenage Riot’s campaign party of education and awareness.

    Having influenced a generation of M.I.A., Crystal Castles, Le Tigre, Sleigh Bells, and Pendulum,
    Atari Teenage Riot is a welcome shot in the arm of the music industry.

lyrics

Atari Teenage Riot : Digital Decay


the elite of our time has a wet dream:
they want to turn the internet into their personal global chessboard
where every user is a servant to their powers

freedom, truth, self-realization
this is what we want
and we must resist all forces
who are pushing against our liberation

stagnation, deflation
capitalism – the constant trigger for frustration

the more closed off the network is to outside intrusion,
the less able it is to engage with that which is outside itself

your after-life is digitized
your intellectual property is already digitized
Digital Decay
Digital Decay

Brooklyn, Berlin, Tokyo, Austin, L.A., London, Warsaw, Montreal, Limoges, Barcelona, Chicago, Baltimore, Taipei, Dublin, Amsterdam, Brussels
Glasgow, Milan, Vienna, Moscow, Perth, Detroit

freedom, truth, self-realization
this is what we need
as a collective, as an individual
the non virtual world should mirror and incorporate the possibilities of the free internet
let’s abolish the existing grid

the more closed off the network is to outside intrusion,
the less able it is to engage with that which is outside itself

your after-life is digitized
your intellectual property is already digitized
your possessions are digitized
your social network is digitized
Digital - Decay
Digital - Decay

Let’s abolish the existing grid as it only exists in our minds
