Red Fiction, the experimental project of Jason Schimmel, premiered a video for “Clone 13” from the album Visions of the Void. The track fuses avant-jazz, fusion, and rock with sharp guitars, horns, and driving rhythms, while the video follows a surreal sci-fi tale of the last human escaping a ruined planet only to be judged by aliens. The album also features notable guest musicians, adding to its bold, eclectic sound. VIEW FULL ARTICLE

Red Fiction (formerly Atomic Ape), led by Jason Schimmel, dropped a new single called “Laceration” that blends metal, math rock, prog, free jazz and noise into a chaotic, intense composition. The track uses wild instrumentation — baritone sax run through Marshall amps, ambient field recordings, analog Moog synths, and a ’60s Fender Bass VI — aiming to immerse the listener in a distorted, dystopian sonic world. Their upcoming album Visions of the Void (set for release via Tzadik Records) includes contributions from Eyvind Kang, Jessika Kenney, among others. VIEW FULL ARTICLE
