The Colossus Is Coming: The Album (AppID: 1648950)

The Colossus Is Coming is the 2nd full-length LP by American Musician Conner Rush, also known by the band name Auric Echoes. Coming almost a year after the music project's soundtrack for the FYRE Games' walking simulator Summerland, Auric Echoes takes center-stage this time around. Recording over the course of 2 years, The Colossus Is Coming is an art rock / experimental rock record with many influences from contemporary jazz, electronica, post-punk, noise rock, hip-hop, and many other genres, blending all of them into a unique listening experience. This LP tells a chilling, haunting narrative surrounding topics of anxiety, time and decay, neuroticism, complexities of relationships, religion, and how that all relates to the question of "what does it mean to live life to the fullest?"

I'd like to thank everybody who's taken the time to listen to my newest musical project. It's always nice to delve back into music after a big video game project (Summerland). I really hope you all will continue to support me through my different artistic endeavors as I continue to evolve and improve. If you haven't, I implore you to give The Colossus Is Coming: The Interactive Experience a look. While it's not an integral piece of the album as a whole, it's a great expansion of the story and themes of it. I really hope I can continue to make you all proud :).
