In his latest single, "Can We Go Back (The Optimist)," the Australian musician and producer prdr presents a gut-wrenching juxtaposition of aggression versus technical fragility, the past versus the future. For aficionados of alternative metal, modern progressive rock, and emotionally unfiltered storytelling, this is a potent elixir to savor. A native of Adelaide, prdr has already built a reputation for writing songs that are like cinematic experiences, and "Can We Go Back (The Optimist)" is no different.

prdr es un artista y productor originario de Adelaide, Australia y nos presenta su nuevo EP, the malice of chance and time. #prdr #themaliceofchanceandtime #alternativerock #progressiverock #ExpandeTusSentidos

My new ep ‘the malice of chance and time’ is out today on bandcamp and all streaming services. These are by far the best songs I’ve ever written (subjectively) and the proudest I’ve been of any release. Between working a (more than) full time job and being a dad to two young kids it’s a minor miracle that these songs were ever written and recorded. I have @aria_shizzle to thank for putting up with me through the process. It’s difficult to express how I feel about writing, recording and releasing songs for public consumption. It’s fantastic and awful at the same time - the highs and satisfaction, the frustration and tedium. It’s a long and hard graft but I’m grateful for the opportunity to do it. This wouldn’t be what it is without a bunch of really talented people helping shape it and providing excellent and in some cases foundational contributions. Here they are in full: Drums: @rob_brens Bass: @liamhbass Vocals: @chadblondel Co-production and mixing: @simongrove Vocal writing and production: @chadblondel Mastering: @forrestersavell Art: @apolk17 Drum engineering and recording: Luke Walton Video production credits: @stackhatmusic and @robertbrens (see also Rob Brens)

Here’s the FULL uncut vid for ‘waiting in the light’ by ya boi @0prdr , cause honestly it’s just too sick not to have on the grid in all its prog glory. This project was a bit of a departure from my usual run n gun shit and took months of preparation. Sweaty bus trips to Bunnings, spray painted chainmail and late night arrow making sessions (Took two days just to get the width looking right). This shit was a hands on crafternoon delight, which makes it even more satisfying seeing it all come together so harmoniously, especially given how many wild obstacles got thrown our way. BTS still en route I promise 💘 Youse already know I had a team full of legendary art behemoths by my side generously lending me their time and expertise, but one more time shoutout to da odd squad for helping us stick the landing. @hungryjaack , @bellalouche , @emikahiart , @edenineora , @oldmatechuffy & @chainsofmetal

Hope y’all enjoying waiting in the light (the dreamer) Massive thanks to the crew on the visuals: Shot, edited and directed: @stackhatmusic Dance: @hungryjaack Contributions: @bellalouche , @oldmatechuffy @chainsofmetal , @emikahiart , @edendee123

the first video from my new ep just premiered over on @everything.is.noise - suss the link in my bio. you can also now pre-order the EP on bandcamp. immense gratitude to @stackhatmusic who poured so much vision and creativity into the video “I found myself hitting repeat, wondering how does the song end so quickly. It’s easy to get lost riding the sweet and grounded groove its sporting. When it wasn’t that, it was all the lush textures stealing the spotlight, trailing behind the effortless yet driving trajectory of the vocals. It’s nice to see this kind of ambiental/post rock sensibility explored with such clarity and general tonal euphony.”

waiting in the light (the dreamer) is premiering over at @everything.is.noise next week @stackhatmusic on the immaculate visuals - this one is wild

the malice of chance and time dropping 22 July this thing wouldn’t be what it is without the amazing contributors and shapers who added their creativity, chops and flair: drums: @rob_brens vocals: @chadblondel bass: @liamhbass vocals written and produced: @chadblondel co-produced and mixed: @simongrove mastered: @forrestersavell original art: @apolk17
