Planet Mu to release debut album from Silk Road Assassins
The trio’s debut album ‘State of Ruin’ lands February 8
Silk Road Assassins will release their debut album ‘State of Ruin’ on Planet Mu next year.
The trio, comprised of Tom E Vercetti, Chemist and Lovedr0id, return to the label with their debut full-length project two years after the release of their ‘Reflection Spaces’ EP.
The forthcoming 14-track album was recorded over a two-year period and features Planet Mu affiliate Kuedo on track ‘Split Matter’. Russian experimental producers WWWINGS also make a cameo on the album, teaming up with Silk Road Assassins on a tune titled ‘Shadow Realm’.
Away from SRA, all three members work in production music, designing and creating music specifically for films and games. On the album, they utilise these skills to explore alternative, conceptual visions of trap and grime.
Planet Mu will release ‘State of Ruin’ on February 8.
