Herman Martinez summons the casualty of creative spirits on psychedelic in "UltraTerrestrial"

Herman Martinez, a delusional Atlanta singer and songwriter, is seemingly poised to lead the music imagination generation with his forthcoming album, "UltraTerrestrial." An 11-track odyssey, effortlessly composed, recorded, and produced by Martinez, is a kaleidoscopic journey where dreams can come true, where reality colors dreams long overlooked, dreams that have yet to be, where lost purity and hidden mysteries bind us, and a secret, unseen frequency binds us. It is a bold new chapter in the life of Herman Martinez, and we have the following unwavering opportunity to join this gentleman on his journey.

According to Martinez, "UltraTerrestrial" is a record of lost dreams and memories you never knew you had. He possesses the ability to create a tumultuous yet loving atmosphere, even in the face of an epidemic of apathy. Even the opening bars of the album reveal listeners to Martinez's powerful worldview, a raging medley of masterful performance, and a vibrant flame of songwriting genius that alternates between lunacy and total unadulterated creativity. The sessions that generated this album took place just beyond the boundaries of Atlanta and were as informal and chaotic as the album is from beginning to finish, filling the "ultraTerresterial" with an "air" that one can feel in each beat.

Produced by Ahmed Mahmoud, mixed and mastered by Chase Cassara, and engineered and co-produced by the album's team, "UltraTerrestrial" embodies a seamless collaboration between Martinez's vision and his complementary production team. The culmination of this record is not only meant to emphasize Martinez's existing creative talent but also to layer the production in such a manner that the listening experience deepens while also preserving the raw, dreamlike edge that his songwriters have. "I can't recall if I composed these songs or if, for some reason, the story got into me." Martinez reflects. "I'm essentially concerned with experimenting with some type of gap-earth that is stuck between frequencies and a world-memory of places you've never visited in this record."

From the instant these tracks begin with the debut single "Changeling," Martinez confronts his listeners with an analysis of self-expression and metamorphosis of oneself before guiding them on a musical, unidentified and otherworldly side A closing track or pre-single "sol," furthermore Martinez's previous solitary focus on his creative ferociousness and drawing last breath as he explores intimacy large and small on side B. "I Hope Something Good Happens to You Today" is a track standout that showcases his strength as a composer, crafting vast waves of small sound stages. The listener's pending big and "tomorrow" journeys will be an introspective and outward-facing exploration, questioning whether the listener prefers to listen to the clockwork lullaby over an instrumental-turned-vocal stroll along the lake, or whether they do not even acknowledge how cumbersome it is to be themselves.
