Australian Grammy-award-nominated artist Maxwell Byrne has unveiled his highly anticipated second LP, megacity1000, under his dance-pop alias 1tbsp. This album comes as a follow-up to his earlier work and continues to showcase his eclectic style that blends various electronic music influences while maintaining a distinct identity within the dance music scene.
megacity1000 comprises ten tracks that transport listeners to a vibrant and immersive world. With a rich tapestry of genres such as Latin, techno, and house, the production ensures a consistently engaging listening experience. Notable features on the album include contributions from Cherry Chola, Ninajirachi, Mietze Conte, and Beaks, each offering their unique flavor to the project.
Byrne drew inspiration for megacity1000 from his recent experiences while touring and observing various cities' approaches to issues like climate change and gentrification. He remarked on the contrasting feelings of inspiration and overwhelm he has encountered while navigating the current state of the world. The album asserts itself as a conceptual dance project, presenting a fictional ultra-modern city designed to address these pressing problems.
The album is available for streaming everywhere through sumoclic. For those interested in exploring the sounds of 1tbsp, megacity1000 promises to be an energetic addition to any playlist. You can check it out here.
