"A telepathic masterclass in modern instrumental rock." — The Return of STICK MEN
Prog Supergroup STICK MEN (Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Markus Reuter) Announces Their First Full-Length Studio Album in a Decade: Let’s THRAK Again
Exactly ten years after their dark, influential 2016 masterpiece Prog Noir, the unparalleled progressive powerhouse STICK MEN is back. Comprising King Crimson’s legendary rhythm section—bassist Tony Levin and drummer Pat Mastelotto—alongside touch-guitar maestro and composer Markus Reuter, the trio has announced their highly anticipated new studio album: Let’s THRAK Again
Arriving 31 years after King Crimson’s watershed 1995 album THRAK, this new record is a profound tribute, fully sanctioned and supported by King Crimson founder Robert Fripp.
"Let's THRAK Again is 60 minutes of pure, kinetic energy. We didn't just write 12 new compositions; we designed an entirely new sonic vocabulary for them."
At the core of Stick Men's breathtaking sound is an instrumental virtuosity that borders on telepathic. Tony Levin once again wields his signature Chapman Stick, while Markus Reuter commands the highly versatile 8-string Touch Guitar. Together, they are setting the modern standard for state-of-the-art touchstyle playing. Anchored by Mastelotto’s hybrid acoustic-electronic percussion, the trio pushes the absolute limits of their instruments, breaking new ground both sonically and compositionally.
Let's THRAK Again is a sprawling auditory experience that actively defies cliché. Designing every single patch and tone specifically for this record, the band has crafted a landscape that is heavy, exotic, and intricate—yet surprisingly catchy.
