about: I have at times thought of 'new realities' as the best k-rakos album, and associate it with 'storynaught' due to its overall tone and structure. Strange that i don't remember much about recording it. I was still living in Lisle, IL. Working part time at DePaul University, and making electronic meuzzik quietly at home.

With my previous album 'is here', i sought to increase sound quality by recording at higher bit rates and limiting my use of effects and distortion. I took the opposite approach with 'new realities' by distorting, echoing and looping sounds in new ways while limiting the use of words and voice.

The cover art features a partially-broken concrete animal statue (photographed in a graveyard in Key West, FL) crudely superimposed over the rocks and hills of Southern, IL.
