Particle has been a staple of the livetronica scene for years, serving as a major player in developing the livetronica scene as we know it today. The Los Angeles-born band composed of Steve Molitz, Clay Parnell, Kito Bovenschulte, and Michael Daum had big news for fans recently, announcing the group’s first new studio album in 14 years, Accelerator, due out September 21st. Particle will also be hitting the road this fall, detailing an extended fall tour to promote the new studio effort.
Per a press release, Particle’s new album will feature nine new, original tunes “packed with powerhouse performances and adventurous songwriting that is sure to excite both longtime fans and newcomers alike.” Accelerator will serve as the follow-up to 2004’s Launchpad, with the group’s only other album released between 2004 and today being the group’s Live At Wanee Festival 2012, which was released via MunckMix.
Particle has just released a new single, “All Night”, ahead of Accelerator‘s official release on Friday. Listen to the track below:
