The brand new studio album from Government Alpha (Xerxes boss Yasutoshi Yoshida)! Apophenia is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things, e.g. cognitive bias, seeing faces or objects in clouds, gambler's fallacy, false positives etc.

"The latest masterwork of harsh noise from the Japanese OG, Government Alpha highlight his ever-increasing proficiency in the realm of extreme electronic experimental destruction. Apophenia, recorded in summer 2024 and winter 2025, are fresh new works, detailing earsplitting frequencies and sweeping harsh noise layers. Gov't Alpha's exercises of extreme audio torture focuses on steady, streaming cacophonous punishment. It attacks the listener with various sound frequencies that never let up, electrocuting the audio landscape with continuous flowing noise, blips, drones, screeches, and barrages.

The colorful paintings and art cards provide a contrast to the extremes found within with (welcome) torture: pure audial annihilation. Merging the harsh noise aesthetics of Japanoise with stream of consciousness collections of electronic snippets and sound manipulations, GA creates dense and detailed mini epics that stretch to nine and ten minute territories. But you won't seem to notice the time expansions as the ebb and flow remain engaging, and slightly hypnotic. It holds your attention while scrubbing out your eardrums" (THC Zine).

Comes in an outsized card sleeve with 6 artwork inserts and a sticker of the album cover, finished with an obi strip.
