When he’s not lecturing on palaeontology at Cornell University, Greg Graffin is the lead singer with Los Angeles punks, Bad Religion, and has been since 1979. Doctor Graffin releases Millport on March 10 via ANTI- Records.

Like his previous solo outings, Millport is a folk inspired album, far removed from his Bad Religion in tone and content. “This feels as exciting to me as when we made the Bad Religion record Suffer,” says Graffin. “Like everything had been leading up to the songs and they just happened totally organically in this short intense burst. I’m really just doing what I did back then, which is write songs that mean something to me and deliver them in a way that is completely honest.”

His third solo album in 20 years, Millport was produced by fellow Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. “It’s the two songwriters from Bad Religion and the rhythm section of Social Distortion, two influential LA punk bands, getting together to do an authentic country rock album, a genre most would think is the absolute antithesis of punk rock,” says Gurewitz. “But I think it sounds great. Both are iconic Southern California genres. It’s like the Laurel Canyon sound played by the kids who were smashing up the clubs a few years later.”

Following their end of 2016 set at Berghain, the innovative electronic duo of James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas, bring in the new year with the release of new track, ‘Border’. The track is taken from their brand new album Borders, which is out via Thrill Jockey on Friday 27 January.

Emptyset have been commissioned to participate in a number of projects by a variety of organizations over the years including Architecture Foundation’s installation at Ambika P3 space near Baker Street in London, Tate Britain’s Performing Architecture programme, a collaboration with conceptual artist Cevdet Erek for Spike Island, an installation at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and more.

The band explain: “Borders represents a new way of working bringing together custom instruments, live performance and the merging of acoustic sounds with analogue electronics. The material signifies the start of a new area of exploration for the project that will be realised through further international live events, bringing the record back into a performance settings and bringing a very human aspect into the sonic lexicon of Emptyset."

Emptyset have announced a performance at Sonic Acts, Amsterdam in February and will announce further dates for 2017.
