Phoenix, Arizona based psychedelic/alternative rock trio, Media, recently surprise-dropped their new EP, Output. It is the third and final installment in their trilogy of joined concept titles. Matching the first two instalments, it was recorded and mixed by Jalipaz at Audioconfusion, mastered by Stephen Marcussen, and completed with art and design by the band. The three connected titles will be released together later this year, including a vinyl pressing. Find out more below.

Media was founded by Billy Tegethoff (The Oxford Coma) and Richard Wnuk who performed this first piece of the triptych, with Tegethoff handling guitar, bass, and vocals, Wnuk playing drums, and both contributing various synthesizers and electronics throughout the release. Wnuk had a very clear picture of how he wanted the record to sound, so he wore the producer hat throughout a very meticulous mixing process. Following the recording of Influence, the duo welcomed bassist CJ Sholtis (Goya) to the lineup.

The concept trilogy began with the 2022 release of their debut EP, Influence. Part two of the series came as the 2023-released “Synapse” single, and now, Media transmits the final piece of the trilogy with Output. A continuation of the story being told by Influence and “Synapse,” the Output EP delivers four new songs that see the band continuing to expand the boundaries of their sound. Another varied, earworm-infested display of sonic experimentation, the new songs are laden with hooks – some subtle and some quite the opposite – layers of pounding rhythms infused with otherworldly tonal shifts and infusions of sonic depth.
