Pomegranate Tiger announce new album ‘All Input Is Error’

July 22, 2023 James Weaver

POMEGRANATE TIGER have announced a new album!

Titled All Input Is Error, the upcoming album from the progressive project helmed by Martin Andres is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s Boundless, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via self-release.

Speaking about the album, Andres says, “AI is slowly taking over everything it seems…and there aren’t too many things more prog than that! The record is meant to bring attention to AI and to open conversations about its role in music and the arts in general. AI experts predict with the rise of AGI by 2030, AI will be able to do EVERYTHING better than a human. What does that even mean? That can’t be true…can it? Hence the album name. When AGI gets here…& it’s most definitely coming within the next decade – ANY input or opinion we might have on ANY certain topic, will essentially be rendered error by AGI. Or otherwise put, All input will be error. All the music on this record aims to reproduce the chaos, wonder, confusion and unpredictability the world of AI has brought us up until now. I have a feeling the music will serve as a good backdrop to the further insanity and unpredictability AI will bring us in the future.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released new music videos for two new songs lifted from the upcoming album; Devils To Ourselves and Dagger Dance. The new songs follow on from the release of The Cryptographer, which will also appear on the upcoming album.

Speaking about the new songs and their accompanying music videos, Andres says, “AI has helped immensely already with this newest record. From entire music videos, to artwork, professional contracts needed, & all storyline / symbolism ideas behind the newest single Dagger Dance, AI has already deeply infiltrated POMEGRANATE TIGER and the world alike and no one really knows where it all leads.

Devils To Ourselves is about every artist’s inner creative drive, & the battles we have within ourselves to produce something worthy & meaningful…sure AI can already make amazing art and music now, but will it ever be able to recreate art, as the best of human beings do which are full of meaning & beauty & inspiration? It feels like the answer should be a clear resounding ‘No’. What will we do when it does? Dagger Dance is a primitive exemplification of the idea that playing with these new civilization changing technologies can be very dangerous and akin to playing with fire. The truth is we don’t really know what we are messing with when it comes to AI just yet and it’s full consequences on society at large.”
