Alias Returns With New Solo Album

On his first non-collaborative album in five years, Anticon beatmeister Alias has tapped his hometown of Portland, Maine for inspiration: The mostly instrumental album's title, Resurgam, is also Portland's Latin motto. It translates to "I will rise again."

Alias hasn't totally forsaken the spirit of sharing on Resurgam, however. The album features two collaborative tracks, the previously Forkcasted "Well Water Black" with Why?'s Yoni Wolf and "The Weathering" with the One AM Radio.

Anticon will officially release Resurgam in physical formats September 2, though the album is available through some digital retailers now. Alias presently has two dates lined up in support of the record.
