From Los Angeles, originally from the post-apocalyptic San Diego County hotbed known as Vista, California. This is Upsilon’s sixth full length album. Intense, loud and unbelievably intricate. Upsilon Acrux’s music is demanding - a mesmerizing and constantly shifting onslaught that buries the prog gesture and unleashes genuine rock energy, melody, emotion. Radian Futura’s centerpiece is “Transparent Seas” a 28 minute epic which stands as one of the more astounding pieces of rock-based music since the prime album era. Memory means everything and nothing here. One of the most creative and original post-punk via avant-garde rock bands today.
Released right off of large european and american tours, UA have continued to develop their uncompromising sound and intense live shows by performing with acts including The Boredoms, The Ruins, Mission of Burma, the Locust, Don Caballero, the Fucking Champs, Dillinger Escape Plan, Anal Cunt, Nels Cline, Fred Frith & Chris Cutler, Cattle Decapitation, Black Heart Procession, Hella, Marnie Stern, Grand Ulena, Yowie, Flying Luttenbachers, Octis, Orthrelm, Truman’s Water and Mick Barr.
