Terraform merges science fiction, crime noir and epic film score elements in a highly evocative and gripping melange. In this chapter of the Xordox saga, the intensity increases, as the propulsive compositions soar, tumble and occasionally explode. The video from Terraform, “Planet Xordox”, is directed by David Slade (Black Mirror, 30 Days Of Night, Hard Candy etc) and will drop soon after the album.
Xordox will be playing in Denver on May 10 2025 at the Ogden Theater with Itchy-O and play a record release show in NYC at TV Eye on May 29 2025, with C.Lavender opening. This latest iteration of the Xordox live group is a duo that features Thirlwell alongside Rebecca El Saleh (Kitba) on additional keyboards. (Kitba)
JG Thirlwell‘s Xordox project will perform live for the first time in three years at the Itchy-O‘s 13th annual Intergalactic Masquerade at the Ogden Theater in Denver Colorado on May 10 2025.
