Sonum Unum: Transcending Boundaries of Electronic Innovation and the Visceral Spirit of Rock.

Hailing from the United States, Sonum Unum emerges as an electrifying electronic rock duo, a collaborative venture orchestrated by multi-instrumentalist/producers Craig Douglas and Michael Goldberg.
Their musical journey weaves together a tapestry of influences, encompassing electronic, ambient, cinematic, and rock elements, reminiscent of the ethereal soundscape conjured by artists such as M83, Peter Gabriel, and Depeche Mode.

What initially began as a fortuitous connection catalyzed by a musician’s want ad culminated in a creative synergy that transcended expectations. The duo’s artistic partnership took shape during the winter of 2023, marked by the seamless exchange of files and ideas. From this virtual collaboration, a profound musical endeavor was born—a testament to the transformative power of technology and artistic camaraderie.

While the duo’s original intent was to craft a collection of songs and independently release a handful of singles, fate had other plans. Their demo track “Empty Spaces,” shared online, swiftly captured the attention of industry luminaries Micah Skaritka and Roger Jarvis of Negative Gain Productions. Enthralled by Sonum Unum’s unique sonic palette and potential, the duo’s trajectory shifted dramatically.

Embracing a new chapter, Sonum Unum signed with Negative Gain Productions, propelling their musical journey into an exciting new phase. Their much-anticipated debut album, “Signals From The Sun,” is poised for a global release in September 2023, a harmonious amalgamation of their diverse musical influences and creative chemistry. As the album’s release approaches, the duo prepares to embark on a touring adventure that promises to further amplify their magnetic presence.

3Teeth release new music video for Slum Planet (feat. Mick Gordon)


Director: Matteo Santoro Visual FX : Matteo Santoro Editor : Matteo Santoro

Lyrics:
Taste the waste
Of our neon disgrace
Deformed children made from corporate gods grace
Better wear your mask because
The air melts your face
No one wins in this human race

I pledge allegiance to my own corruption
Preserving my freedom of self destruction
I want to be the one with the most damage
You can’t tell me how to live on my

Slum planet

My trash hate and lies
Piled as high as I like
So welcome to my Slum planet
I don’t care if you live or you die
As long as your willing to buy
So welcome to my
Slum Planet

The only thing here built to last
Is the engine that turns your world to trash
My domain is the future pain
Light your path like a moth to the flame
My trash hate and lies
Piled as high as I like
So welcome to my
Slum planet

I don’t care if you live or you die
As long as your willing to buy
So welcome to my
Slum Planet

Behind my plastic faces
Sealed off inside glass cases
My machine my machine will grant it
All the dreams of a slum planet

“Today we shall no longer live in shame and regret of our inability to coexist in accord with nature. We must embrace our superior position upon this planet and recognize it as a resource for our disposal and no matter how finite of a resource it is, we shall live for today and not question the limitations of tomorrow as we are the gods of now. Thank you for your donation”

My trash hate and lies
Piled as high as I like
So welcome to my
Slum planet

I don’t care if you live or you die
As long as your willing to buy
So welcome to my
Slum Planet

Behind my plastic faces
Sealed off inside glass cases
My machine my machine will grant it
All the dreams of a slum planet
