Conrad Keely, singer and co-founder of the art rock group ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, made his solo debut in January with the release of his album, ‘Original Machines.’ Today he has released a music video for the track, “Engines Of The Dark” which was filmed throughout different locations in Cambodia, where he currently resides. “Engines Of The Dark” is the first music video to be released off of ‘Original Machines.’

‘Original Machines’ received fantastic reactions from press, with Q Magazine (UK) calling it, “a brilliant odyssey through the eclectic backwaters of Keely’s imagination,” while Upset Magazine (UK) called it, “a genuinely fascinating listen.”

Consequence of Sound deemed the most recent single, “Warm Insurrection” as, “a driving, psychedelic affair,” while Stereogum described it as, "a lovely pileup of jangly psych guitars and rippling congas.” The debut single, “In Words Of A Not So Famous Man” provides a different look into the record, featuring “acoustic guitars and weeping string arrangements,” as illustrated by Brooklyn Vegan.

The album is out via Superball Music, and available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon (digital|physical),GooglePlay, and the InsideOut Music Shop.

About CONRAD KEELY: Keely co-founded …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead with Jason Reece, a childhood friend from Hawaii.  Begun in Austin, Texas in 1995, the band has been touring non-stop ever since, and this year has marked their 20th year anniversary with their ninth album entitled IX.  Not one to slow his pace, Keely was encouraged by fellow band-mate Autry Fulbright to record a collection of solo material that would allow him to vent creative ideas and styles different from the hard-rock, high energy textures his band has become known for.  During his time spent as an expatriate in Cambodia, Keely began spending more time playing solo shows (although not always acoustic), as well as collaborating with other musicians, both expat and Cambodian, on material as diverse as Irish folk and American bluegrass, to Khmer classics from the golden age of Cambodian psychedelic rock, a scene cut tragically short by the Khmer Rouge regime in 1974.  The diversity of styles has formed much of his latest writing, but also expanded his approach to the songs he’s written over the last twenty years for his rock band.
