Arcadea is back, reimagined as a trio with Brann Dailor (Mastodon) now on vocals, and João Nogueira joining Core Atoms on synths. The reshaped lineup just shared a single, "Fuzzy Planet," which will be on The Exodus of Gravity, out August 22 on Relapse Records.

As the band puts it, the single takes place at Prom 5039: A Nightmare to Remember. “It’s about that first fuzzy feeling you get when you fall in love,” Atoms says in a press release. “Our lead character is recognizing that the spore has gotten in them and they’re starting to change. They’re awakening to all the beauty that’s around.”

The band, based in Atlanta, GA, released a self-titled album in 2017. Prior to Arcadea, Atoms and Dailor played together in Gaylord.
