Ken Stringfellow, singer and co-founder of Seattle indie rock band The Posies, famous for the 90s Hit Dream All Day, is also known for his work with R.E.M., Big Star, Lagwagon, Neil Young and countless others, brings his most intense and personal work with CIRCUIT BREAKER, 5th solo album, first in over a decade. CIRCUIT BREAKER - indie rock/ indie pop genre - was written and recorded in 2022-2023 as Ken recovered from a serious personal ordeal making him unable to sing or touch an instrument, until these songs started to present themselves in dreams. CIRCUIT BREAKER is a journey from deconstruction to reconstruction, from death to life. It explores themes of betrayal and forgiveness, rebirth and renewal, and the overcoming of any adversity. Ultimately it is an introspective album about how we heal. Positive, moving, hopeful, emotive, it also includes some break-up songs. While most of the album was performed, engineered, mixed by Ken Stringfellow at his Seattle studio, some true music legends have also been a part of the process: Lydia Lunch - iconoclast, poet, empowered female artist and fearless social critic -brings a spoken word exploration of the dark side of the human psyche in "Waiting"; Glam rock icon Suzi Quatro plays the bass on "Ghost Me"; Additionally, some great names from the Seattle music scene appear - string arranger & violinist Andrew Joslyn (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Mark Lanegan, Duff McKagan); drummer Steve Gale, and pedal steel player "Country" Dave Harmonson. The album was mastered and the vinyl cut by Bob Weston, bassist for the band Shellac and recording engineer on Nirvana's "In Utero" amongst many other credits. A serie of arty sequential videos exploring the various moods and emotions of this intense journey, illustrate not only the singles but other songs of the album, with a visual and scenario consistency adding up to make a short movie. A tour going through the US, Europe, Japan is preparing and will start on the date of album release.
