Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jonathan Coulton returns after six years with Solid State, a concept album and commentary on the internet, trolls, artificial intelligence and how love and empathy will save humanity. The tracks have a pared-down force very different from the chord-heavy guitar pop that made Coulton famous. He created them while working, in close collaboration with his producer Christian Cassan, from his home in Brooklyn, often composing "in the box." He tweaked knobs for inspiration, building waves of drone and jangle and hum that feel a bit like a digital hymn. And yet these are also dialectical songs by design: solid state anthems that are meant to question, maybe to mourn, the method of their own production. The album is released in conjunction with a companion 136 page hardcover graphic novel, written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Albert Monteys.
