The new digital only release by (((S))) - "American Innocence" (Parts I & II) – is a poetic album about two American innocent subcultures.

Part I: SUNSET PARK - On a background of jangling mandolins, lapsteels and guitars (((S))) takes you on a cinematic journey through the small backwood stages of rural America’s outdoor music parks in the 50’s and 60’s. The intimate, $1-a-carload picnic concerts at ‘Sunset Park’ was a stopover for many of the touring country acts such as Johnny Cash, Stanley Brothers and the early Dolly Parton. Out in the woods there was a wooden stage some benches and a single microfone. As there was no backstage area, the audience was as close as they could be to the biggest stars of the day. In this peaceful nonalcoholic afternoon atmosphere, it was like there was no boundries between the performer and the audience.

Part II : PACIFIC VIBRATIONS - In the vacuum after World War II and the consuming angst ridden times of the A bomb and coldwar mindsets – a group of young men dropped out of society in search of the next wave. Like some sort of Dharma bums they lived on nothing, travelling up and down the Californian coast and later on to the then unknown Hawaiian beaches. At the same time as the beatpoets Ginsburg, Kerouac, Burroughs etc were travelling the continent, writing their now world famous books, these surfer guys just wanted to feel the vibrations of the Pacific Ocean. Wordless dreamers of the wipe outs. Later on this subculture was commercialized in music and movies and of course lost it’s fundamental purpose in the transition. This piece of music is an hommage to these surfers and their wavedreams.

"American Innocence" has been recorded and produced by (((S))), at Everyday Studios (Copenhagen), the audio mastering was done at TS-Musix studio (Leipzig / Germany). The album has been released as a digital download set by the German label PoiSonic in 2016.
