Activity is a Brooklyn-based experimental rock quartet known for their potent blend of atmospheric soundscapes, jagged post-punk urgency, and introspective electronics. The band features Travis Johnson (vocals, samples, multi-instrumentalist, formerly of Grooms), Jess Rees (guitar, vocals, keys, of Russian Baths), Bri DiGioia (bass, vocals), and Brian Alvarez (drums).
Their forthcoming third album, A Thousand Years In Another Way, out June 6, 2025 via Western Vinyl, captures the disquieting yet strangely familiar atmosphere of contemporary life. Describing the album's essence, Johnson says, “Evil is very real and having its way, and love is also real and hasn’t lost yet.” This sentiment permeates the ten-song collection, which navigates themes of violence, alienation, and tenderness without offering easy answers, instead immersing the listener in a sonic reflection of a surreal and often dreamlike (or nightmarish) daily existence.
Working with producer Jeff Berner (Psychic TV, Shilpa Ray), Activity meticulously manipulated sounds and leveraged room acoustics to create a disorienting yet captivating listening experience on A Thousand Years In Another Way. The album was born from a period of uncertainty, pieced together from fragments of clipped samples, looping guitar lines, and ghostly melodies. Rees, DiGioia, and Johnson share vocal and writing duties, resulting in a record that is both deeply personal and strangely alien, where a sense of imminent shift and potential collapse is ever-present.
Building on the foundations laid by their 2020 debut Unmask Whoever and their 2023 follow-up Spirit in the Room, Activity continues to carve out a unique space in the musical landscape. Their sound is characterized by a compelling paranoia, flickers of incisive hope, and a persistent sense of warped reality, making their music a resonant soundtrack for these turbulent times. A Thousand Years In Another Way promises to be a powerful distillation of this vision, offering not an escape, but a profound, immersive reflection of the world as it is.
