Four Seconds Ago, the electronic duo featuring Periphery’s Jake Bowen and Misha Mansoor, have released a sublime new single “Bump The Lamp.”
Taken off their upcoming album, 1000 Needles (February 21, 3DOT Recordings), which is a continued exploration of analog synths, spacey dynamics and otherworldly ambient melodies.
“When we started ‘Bump The Lamp,’ we got momentum,” Bowen explains. “Every album needs a song to set the pace, determine the vibe, and kickstart the writing, ‘Bump The Lamp’ was this song for us.”
“Four Seconds Ago, aside from being a fulfilling outlet creatively, is also just a lot of fun,” Mansoor shares. “Jake and I have always had a blast writing together, and our explorations in electronic music are no exception. The sessions often feel like a good hang where songs magically materialize before our very eyes. To some degree we started Four Seconds Ago as an excuse to learn how to make this kind of music. Now I think we are able to use it as a genuine form of expression. We are very proud of this album, and we really hope you enjoy it.”
Four Seconds Ago, the electronic project of longtime friends and Periphery co-founders Misha Mansoor and Jake Bowen, blends analog synths, dreamy downtempo beat-craft with ambient-spacey dynamics into a distinct creative expression rooted in their two-decade friendship. The duo continues to explore new sonic territory with their second full-length album, 1000 Needles [3DOT Recordings]. Drawing inspiration from artists like deadmau5 and Telefon Tel Aviv, they craft immersive, evolving compositions while maintaining the inventive spirit of their metal roots. 1000 Needles reflects both their growth as musicians and their deep creative bond, making it a powerful continuation of their artistic journey.
