August 28, 2024 – Today, alternative pop artist, Demi the Daredevil released a new collaborative single, “American Zombie” with the LA-based TikTok powerhouse RudyWade, Filipino-American star Ethan Gander, and Nashville’s alternative-hip-hop darling Mitchel Dae. This song is beautifully eerie and spellbinding, encapsulating just how detached humans have become from themselves and the present moment in society. “I’ve had this experience many times, where I felt like I’m seeing things pass by like a video game,” confesses artist Jeff Azar – known to his fans as Demi the Daredevil, a dark alternative pop rarity. “I’ve wanted to write about this ‘derealization’ phenomenon for a while. It’s the feeling that I’m simply managing incoming stimuli on the outside, while I’m not really ‘existing’ or ‘present’ internally.” “American Zombie” is a reflection and reaction to the digital information landscape currently demanding our attention at an increasingly rapid pace. The creeping motion heard on the tracks instrumental production is a calculated attempt to slow time down – with verses meant to hypnotize listeners, punctuated by pleading anthemic hooks crafted to snap you back into reality. “I want people to know they aren’t alone in struggling to navigate this attention economy” says Azar. “I hope this song can open up a broader dialogue around the effects of this constant stimulation on our brains, and how we can start repairing the long term repercussions of it all.” The single came together as the official soundtrack to the four artists’ upcoming American Zombie Tour, kicking off in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 11. Not only can fans expect to hear the four artists team up to perform the new single each night, but this will also be the first-time fans outside of Southern California will be able to catch a glimpse of RudyWade and Ethan Gandor in the flesh.
