Trace Amount is the solo project of Brooklyn-based producer, vocalist, and visual artist, Brandon Gallagher. First conceived in 2019, Trace Amount took shape during the early stages of the pandemic, inspired by the grim realities of life in New York City at that time, and has evolved at a lightning pace ever since.
The sound is a harsh strain of industrial music, evoking apocalyptic dread through primal rhythms, layers of synth and noise, and Gallagher's distorted moans and screams. Decibel Magazine has hailed Trace Amount as a "one-man sonic demolition unit"; CVLT Nation has termed it, an "experimental industrial onslaught"; Post-Punk.com has warned, "Trace Amount is not for the faint of heart."
Anti Body Language, the debut full-length album by Trace Amount, will be released on April 15 via Federal Prisoner, the label founded by Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Black Queen, Jerry Cantrell) and visual artist Jesse Draxler.
