Album in the Cell: v01d "This is Not a False Alarm Anymore"



This week's Album in the Cell is:

v01d - This is Not a False Alarm Anymore

This week, I'm highlighting an album instead of just a song... because I can.

"This is Not a False Alarm Anymore" is the debut album from Toronto's moody electronic guy, v01d. The maturity and contemplative nature of the songs (not to be mistaken for "boring") is a testament to the years v01d's Joseph Byer has spent working with music, and forming his sound. Anyone that heard earlier v01d will hear the difference right away. These songs are not meant for a dancefloor... but are building, growing, evolving experiences.

Highlights of the album include the sort-of-title-track "Feel Me Fade", electro waltz "Resurrected Upon Landing", the MC 900 ft Jesusesque "Gods Look Down", and sexy-but-depressing "This Moment is Over".

This album also has a companion album, "Burnt Upon Re-Entry", available digitally or as a part of a limited 2-CD set. It offers up some new tracks (including the seemingly out of character rap track "End of Life"), some remixes and alternate versions of album tracks.

To end off this post, we have the video trailer for the album... BUY IT NOW!

Enjoy!

It may not be for the dancefloor, but I danced anyway!
