Entropy are revealing more of their Post-Hardcore and Shoegaze roots with new single and video “King of Rain.” The track also suggests lighter elements from Pop that the group are experimenting with.

For the past few years, Entropy have been working to translate the sound of a Grunge-influenced schoolyard circa 1994 into the present moment. After a wall of sound approach to their debut album Liminal (2020) and the Death Spell EP (2022), their upcoming new album Dharmakāya echoes their Britpop influences while combining heavier elements from the band’s roots.

The album was recorded and mixed by Phil Meyer-Wien at Heavy Kranich Studios in Münster, Germany and mastered by Dan Coutant at Sun Room Audio (NY), whose previous work includes bands like Braid, Fiddlehead, and Jawbox.

Songs on the album deal with dating, chronic illness, mental health, and spiritual themes, drawing from the ideas of writers like Peter Rollins and Robert Pírsig.

The title of the record is derived from the latter’s work, where the Buddhist term “Dharmakāya” is used to describe “the experience of letting go of one’s intellectual defenses and, quite literally, letting the light in.”
