Spiritual Machines II\u003c\/i\u003e is the anti-rock record Our Lady Peace fans have been waiting for. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first \u003ci\u003eSpiritual Machines\u003c\/i\u003e wasn’t a typical mainstream rock record, it had anthemic guitar hooks next to literal predictive modelings addressing a future dependent on AI and the legal rights of computers. Raine Maida, the singer and co-founder of Our Lady Peace, stated: “Twenty years later, ‘Spiritual Machines' predictions have mostly come true, 86% to be exact. Now, new predictions must be made for the future - and with groundbreaking advances in technology, there’s reason to celebrate.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek (with additional production by Jason Lader on three tracks), the album features the return of Kurzweil with new predictions such as near-future with UBI (Universal Basic Income), AI that will pass the Turing Test by 2029, and sustainable solutions to ending global hunger and poverty. \u003ci\u003eSpiritual Machine II\u003c\/i\u003e marks an uplifting new chapter for OLP as it carves out a new genre that is best described as future rock with each song crafted to represent the new predictions for our future as a society. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMG","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50481471062347,"sku":"1143153","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50481470505291,"sku":"1143152","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9043c848-3688-4c8d-b434-e1c0c4a27fff_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727540019","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/spiritual-machines-ii","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
