The Tangent release new music video for ‘The Tower of Babel’

THE TANGENT have released a new music video!

The video, for the track The Tower of Babel, is the second single taken from their upcoming album, Auto Reconnaissance, which is scheduled to be released in August.

Speaking about the new song, founder/guitarist/vocalist Andy Tillison says comments, The Tower Of Babel is a new field of work for THE TANGENT, a real attempt to do the kind of highly complex popular song that Steely Dan excelled at. It seeks to appeal at as many levels as possible whether for the subtle chord structures, instrumental solos or for the catchiness of the choruses. It’s probably the first time the band ever wrote something with a specific view to it being a “single” release.  In the end, the four minute song took longer to write than either of the two epics that it shares the album with.  The song is a humorously cynical look into the way technology has helped Bureaucracy become even more invasive in our lives, from “Tick The Box” job application forms – to directed advertising – via phone calls which tell you to “use the website instead”.”

Auto Reconnaissance is set for release on August 21st via InsideOut Music. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
