Singer-songwriter Eric Hirshberg has released his new album “More Is Not The Answer,” a 10-track collection, alongside a single and video for “Machine Against The Rage.” The song and album focus on human connection amid technology, algorithms, politics and media that the artist says pull people apart, according to the announcement.
The album was previewed through several singles over the past year, including “For Real,” a collaboration with Aloe Blacc that led to Hirshberg’s national television performance debut on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” where host Kelly Ripa called the song “an anthem,” according to the announcement. Other tracks, including “We’re All In This Alone” and “The Grand Elsewhere,” address algorithmic influence and digital distraction, while the title track was written after Hirshberg and his family evacuated during the Los Angeles wildfires.
Hirshberg is marking the release with a show at The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles on October 17.
