Object Unto Earth Unveils New EP: Memory Tyrant

We are excited to announce the release of Memory Tyrant, the latest EP from the solo project Object Unto Earth, helmed by songwriter and producer Jonathan Zajdman. This self-released work serves as a thematic and sonic continuation of last year’s critically acclaimed album, The Grim Village.

About Object Unto Earth

Object Unto Earth is the brainchild of Jonathan Zajdman, whose artistry blends personal narrative with innovative soundscapes. The new EP features contributions from members of the live band, enhancing the depth and complexity of the material. With its modern prog-rock influences, Memory Tyrant invites listeners to delve into a world of compelling riffs, catchy melodies, and moving storytelling.

Production and Collaboration

The EP was co-produced by Zajdman alongside Seanan McCullough from Helvete Sound, a recording studio known for its association with some of Portland’s most impactful bands. This collaboration has resulted in a polished sound that captures the energy of their live performances.

Creative Process

Reflecting on the creative journey, Zajdman shares, “The first Object Unto Earth record was written over the course of two years as an exercise in building composition and production chops, but over time, it turned into this intimate, therapeutic endeavor. That album was about a reckoning I had after a lot of personal upheaval and ultimately moving past what had been a very negative relationship with myself.”

He further explains, “Our new EP is a continuation of the same musical experimentation and personal lyricism, but it was written and recorded much faster to capture the energy my live band had playing shows this last year. To me, it feels like an expansion on what that first record achieved sonically and thematically.”

Musical Identity

According to Zajdman, the hallmark of Object Unto Earth is its ability to create intricate prog rock that remains accessible. He notes, “I think our calling card as a band is the ability to write dense prog rock that’s easily listenable, and this first single has become one of my favorite Object Unto Earth tracks as a good sampling of that.”
