    *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

Shadow Identity



Fire and death
And rivers of blood
Don’t listen to my inner voice that says STOP!

Shadow Identity
Shadow Identity
Shadow Identity
Living a Shadow Identity!!!

Precious little diamonds
Cut
By precious little diamonds
Running for my life and I can’t stop!
Pushed to a line I cannot cross!
Running for my life and I can’t stop!
Being chased by friends I cannot trust

Shadow Identity
Shadow Identity
Shadow Identity
Living a Shadow Identity!!!

There is nothing they can say
That I want to hear
Who do you want to be and why?
Who do you want to be and why?
We’re never the same
What’s in the past affects us now

Shadow Identity
Shadow Identity
Shadow Identity
Living a Shadow Identity!!!

Can a human learn not to kill for greed?

Who do you want to be and why?
Who do you want to be and why?

Liars bring up jealousy
When you expose their crimes
Cruelty and shame
Such a surge



They don’t get it – They just don’t get it
They don’t get it – They just don’t get it
They don’t get it – They just don’t get it
Running for my life and I can’t stop


Fuel to the fire before it dies down!
Fuel to the fire before it dies down!
Fuel to the fire before it dies down!
Fuel to the fire before it dies down!

Who do you want to be and why?
Who do you want to be and why?
