about

THE SPIRIT OF SCIENCE FICTION is the sixth full-length release from INTERESTING TIMES GANG, Ian Miller’s solo project. You may know Miller as the bassist of Kowloon Walled City, Less Art, Redemption 87, or Skankin’ Pickle, but ITG is the bedroom beats project he started during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I’ve always loved electronic and beat-based music,” Miller says. “I came of age during the advent of hip-hop, and as a bassist, my attention is always on the groove. ITG may seem like it comes out of left field for me, but it really couldn’t be more natural.”

“I started making these records because it was my only outlet,” Miller explains. “I’ve been messing around with beats and loops since the early 2000s, but once everything shut down, the studio became my sanctuary. Interesting Times Gang helped keep me semi-sane, but it’s great that people also seem to enjoy the music!”

THE SPIRIT OF SCIENCE FICTION contains 13 instrumental compositions ranging from downtempo to breaks to Big Beat. Miller flips Meters and Roxy Music samples but pairs them with breaks from unlikely sources -- think Charlie Daniels, Misfits, and the Move -- evoking comparisons to the Bomb Squad, Chemical Brothers, and Dilla.

You can easily picture the songs on SCIENCE FICTION soundtracking an indie flick or a study session, but it’s also got club bangers on deck. It’s certainly not like any other electronic album you’re likely to hear this year. Its defiance of categorization may make it a hard sell for some, but that’s also what makes it so compelling. Let THE SPIRIT move you.
