New York City - Pacific Time Entertainment announces the release of Discorporated, from NJ based singer/songwriter Kimon. The self-produced album is the follow up to 2002's solo debut album Your Lucky Day, and features 11 politically charged original tunes penned by Kimon.
"He's been road-hardened, paying his dues so to speak for a long time in miscellaneous bands and countless little dives along the eastern seaboard," says Pacific Time president Curtis Urbina. "I think that's part of what accounts for his pissy demeanor. Regardless, we are very pleased to be able to introduce Kimon to a national audience."
Snubbing the typical "introspective singer/songwriter" genre, Kimon projects his cynical demeanor outward, and it reflects upon Discorporated, a themed album about corporate greed, disenfranchisement, corrupt officials and the military industrial complex. In an era of ultra-conservativism, when other artists play it safe with syrupy ditties, Kimon fires back with cuts including the pointed "Percussion Bomb" and "World By The Balls," challenging the dubious justifications for the '03 Iraq War; He takes on corporate criminals and polluters in "Mother Earth" and "Dig Yourself (Deeper In The Hole)," and our disappearing civil liberties in "Big Brother," exposes the chronic calumniations of the so called "news" media in "When All This Is Over," and sheds light on the world refugee problem in "The Only Home I Know."
Already receiving favorable early response from a number of radio personalities around the country, Discorporated will be supported by an extensive radio promotion campaign and press marketing launch, as well as various performances as part of a multi-city promotional tour this spring.
