20 Years Later, the Debut Album Returns—Reborn and Reinvented
💥 Two decades after its original release and long believed lost to time, Daniel Graves has resurrected his debut album under a new name and form—Closer to Human is available now via Bandcamp, with pre-orders for ultra-limited physical editions going fast.
“This isn’t a remaster. It’s a resurrection.”
Meticulously reconstructed using the original gear and samples, this version of the album breathes fire into the foundations of Aesthetic Perfection with a renewed precision, fury, and spirit. This is the album that started it all, rebuilt for a new generation of perfectionists.
