The innovative live music and film multimedia group, X: THC, will hold their official debut album release event/performance at Clemente Soto Velez Center’s Flamboyan Theater on Thursday, March 25th at 8:00pm, to celebrate the release of X: The Human Condition.
With the music industry in its doldrums, and searching for inspiration, this New York based independent music group has taken it upon themselves to blaze a new trail. Set for release March 16th, X: The Human Condition combines indie music and film, to create an unforgettable live experience.
The unique performance/album takes on themes of the universal human sentiments of isolation, loneliness, and detachment. By integrating different media forms through “synesthesia” (cross-sensory experience), X: THC extends their own experiences to the audience, including them and affirming the fact that each of us is not alone.
Musically, X: THC combines chilled, shattered beats, soulful vibery, and edgy indie rock songwriting to create a lush, electronic soundscape. The songs conjure shades of post-punk, new wave, and electronica—yet they weave a seductive, hypnotic sound all their own.
The album is accompanied by X: THC’s original film, whose wistful and mysterious imagery creates an utterly unique and uplifting experience. Citing Tim Burton, Michel Gondry, Darren Aronofsky, Jean Cocteau, and The Brothers Grimm as major influences, X: THC’s visual companion to the performance is a surrealistic trip inside the human subconscious.
In order to affect concrete change in others’ lives, Michael and X: THC have partnered with several charities dedicated to helping others who feel alone, alienated or "different". A portion of proceeds from ticket and album sales of X: The Human Condition will go to aid this vast community of people overcoming difficulties.

”[X: THC is] the kind of band that you’d enjoy so much you would want to keep them to yourself, only you won’t be able to, because you’re so damned excited about the music." - SphereMag, UK
