Today I am joined by Derek Allen, the singer and guitarist of Lower Automation, a high energy math core band from Chicago. Lower Automation are about to release their self titled debut full length on Zegema Beach on July 12th. Recorded in a five day stretch during the summer of 2020, the album is a blistering and nerve-racking listen. Allen and I have crossed paths a few times in both the Chicago and while Lower Automation were on tour a few years back, so I was delighted to finally have him on the podcast to talk about his early interest in industrial music, why he’s attracted to rhythmic complexity, his unique approach to vocals and much more.
