August 2025, ARCADEA returned with The Exodus of Gravity, a futuristic synth-rock odyssey set five billion years in the future, in a world where gravity no longer holds us downâliterally or metaphoricallyâ but pulsing with the urgency of now.
With Brann Dailor (Mastodon) stepping into the spotlight as lead vocalist, ARCADEA dives headfirst into a new kind of psychedelia: groovy, danceable, and emotionally resonant. âUp is down, down is up,â says founding member Core Atoms. That chaos isnât just part of the storyâitâ is the story. And the soundtrack is pure cosmic ecstasy.
The Exodus of Gravity doesnât just explore a post-human worldâit reinvents it: Machines breathe. Love returns. Empathy evolves. From the effervescent shimmer of lead single âFuzzy Planetâ to the volcanic fury of âLake of Rust,â each track is a step deeper into ARCADEAâs lush, electrified mythology. But itâs not all concept and no connectionâthis album wants you to move your body as well. Dailor says it best: âI donât wanna look out and see a bunch of guys with their arms crossed. I wanna see some asses wiggling.â
More than just a sci-fi soundtrack, The Exodus of Gravity is a mirror to our own unraveling and reawakening. With its genre-blurring grooves, soaring vocals, and a hopeful vision of what comes after the fall, ARCADEA has crafted a danceable, synth-driven hymn to evolutionâboth human and machine.

Mastodon drummer-vocalist Brann Dailorâs sci-fi side project Arcadea is back with a second album, âThe Exodus of Gravityâ â but this time, the duo are getting their groove on, leaning into a synth-heavy sound thatâs more dancy than proggy.
âMusic is music and youâre looking for an evocative response,â Dailor says. âI try to make sure that happens for me.â
We talked to him about Arcadea â which features his lifelong friend Core Atoms on synths, guitar, bass, vocoder and more â and their dance-floor swerve. Read the full story at RevolverMag.com *link in bio.

"It's the future we find ourselves in, the once fertile terrain of New Arcadea seems barren, with the exception of  lifeless robots & silent spores. Anxiety, doubt, curiosity & wonder propel the intrepid synthetic-observer through an odyssey. Slowly integrating with the spores, new senses are born within. A recognition of the possibility of planetary life ignites. A changing code yields a new mission deep within: LIFE. Through the spores, a new, powerful, sentience is gained. New senses reveal themselves as well as new anxieties... While a great metamorphosis is happening on the surface, just above, a hungry black hole looms, ingesting gravity, and the fundamental forces of the universe. Reality in reverse."
