_“A fine balance of fresh new ideas and familiarity… smart and seductive”_ ~ **Big
Takeover Magazine**

“Perfect nugaze… balances out the familiar and innovative, something cold yet calming,
something futuristic while rooted in retro electro” ~ **The Spill Magazine **

_“With a psychedelic lo-fi predisposition… eerie and dreamy while being down to 
earth”_ ~** Destroy//Exist**

_“Delicious slice of dark, foreboding shoegaze with a Jesus and Mary Chain sneery
disdain & a My Bloody Valentine chainsaw buzz. Deeply formed melodies flow under
the insistant rhythmic thunder with a disassociated air and opaque lyrics”_ ~ **

Irish psych/ shoegaze artist [**Revolution Above Disorder**](https://www.facebook.com/revolutionabovedisorder)
has released the [**‘Annihilator’**](https://revolutionabovedisorder.bandcamp.com/album/annihilator)
mini-EP, produced and mixed at** **[**Jacknife Sound**](http://www.jacknifesound.com/)
by **Jason Corbett **of [**ACTORS**](https://www.actorstheband.com/), and mastered
by **RIDE** legend **Mark Gardener **at his [**OX4 Sound Studio**](https://www.ox4sound.co.uk/)****
in Oxford, England.

The 3-track release includes a clever remix by renowned producer [**Jagz Kooner**](https://www.jagzkooner.com/)**(
Primal Scream, Oasis, Kasabian, The Charlatans, Soulwax, The Kills, Massive Attack,
Ladytron) **and fellow Dublin electronic producer [**Colm Rutledge AKA Noise Baby**](https://www.facebook.com/NOISE-BABY-100790262411587/)**.**

Revolution Above Disorder is the solo moniker of Vancouver-based Dubliner [**Stephen Nicholas White **](https://www.instagram.com/p/CT5neNRJfyZ/)**(**
[**The Orange Kyte**](https://theorangekyte.bandcamp.com/)**, House of Dolls, **
[**Magic Shoppe**](https://www.facebook.com/MagicShoppeBoston)**)**, whose music
is a melting pot of shoegaze, psychedelic rock and electronic-tinged post-punk. 
Droned-out while also melodic and sincere, White’s songs are augmented by synths,
drum machines and heavily treated instrumentation with hypnotic reverb-soaked vocals.

“As a record producer and remixer, Jagz Kooner has worked with an extensive list
of some of the most influential musicians of the last 30 years. Alongside Andrew
Weatherall, he was a member of The Sabres of Paradise. Jagz is somebody whose work
has been an inspiration to me for as long as I can remember and he has pulled out
all the stops for his remix of Annihilator… it is both dreamy and vicious in equal
measures. It’s an absolute honour and privilege to have Jagz on board for this release,”
says **Stephen Nicholas White.**

“Track 3 is the remix from my pal Colm Rutledge AKA Noise Baby. A fellow Dubliner
and a fellow expat, Colm is based out of Berlin and the influence of that Mecca 
of hedonism is all over his Annihilator remix, the result is glorious. My jaw hit
the floor when he sent this interpretation of the track. Colm is also currently 
knee-deep in creating a killer new record with his excellent rock n’ roll outfit
The Famous Painters.”

Recorded during the height of the paranoid and chaotic days of the Covid-19 pandemic,
it explores the themes of dissatisfaction, disillusion, nihilism and self-destruction–
quite fitting for the times.

“Annihilator was originally conceived of as an uptempo post-punk song a number of
years back when writing the second **House of Dolls** record, which ultimately never
saw the light of day. Rediscovered in a treasure trove of demos back in 2020 as 
I was conceptualizing Revolution Above Disorder, Annihilator soon metamorphosed 
into a whole different beast. Working again with Jason Corbett at Jacknife Sound,
we slowed the track down to allow it to breathe and, in doing so, a whole new incarnation
of the track began to crystallize”,” says** Stephen Nicholas White**.

“At the time I was heavily into rediscovering the sounds of first wave trip-hop 
and nineties UK big beat… and as ever, the ubiquitous spectre of krautrock loomed
heavily at the forefront of my mind. These influences wormed their way into Annihilator
as we focused on the building of subtle layers to create a rising tension over the
course of the track. The song was built over top of a sci-fi synth bassline, underpinned
at its core by acoustic guitar. ACTORS’ drummer **Adam Fink** responded to the call
and nailed the drum track. **Mat Durie** was summoned in to add some bowed-guitar,
lending the track the droned-out atmospherics that it was crying out for.”

This spring, White released [**‘Scream Quietly’**](https://revolutionabovedisorder.bandcamp.com/track/scream-quietly-a-television-personalities-cover)
to pay tribute to the groundbreaking band **Television Personalities** and the songwriting
genius of **Dan Treacy**. In late 2021, Revolution Above Disorder debuted with[ **‘Illuminate’**](https://youtu.be/bPu2IXxe3e0),
which involved all members of postpunk band **ACTORS**, as well as **Josiah Webb**
of [**Magic Shoppe**](https://www.facebook.com/MagicShoppeBoston/).
