On the heels of the recently released 7-inch, Reality Protest, New York City's mastermind Gary War delivers a new six song EP.

Recorded just this summer (2010), Police Water sees War's audio explorations breaking new ground in electronic prog and pop other-worlds.

These new pieces reveal new experiments in song-approach, structure, sampling, and tightly synced synthesization.

Meanwhile War delves further into tape manipulation and post-future digital recording techniques.

The overall feel of Police Water vibrates with post-apocalyptic urgency but ultimately carries the listener in through the darkness and out into light.

This new work spans War's full emotional range, and never abandons his hopes of a more enlightened collective consciousness for the future of the human race.

Heavily experimental yet highly accessible and hook- laden, Police Water is the next stage in War's singular and specific vision of a real future pop music.

Gary War will be touring Europe this fall and recording a live split album in Italy with label mate Zola Jesus.

This winter, War will start working on a follow-up full length to his critically acclaimed (Wire Mag's #23 album of 2009), Horribles Parade.
