After just releasing their first two albums on Metropolis Records earlier this year, IAMX will be embarking on a six date mini tour in September. To coincide with the tour, the band and Metropolis Records are proud to announce the release of the President single. Featuring the album version from The Alternative, an acoustic version, and an IAMX remix, the single also contains a studio jam session video for "President." "Heavier, dirtier and more sinister than the Sneaker Pimps' listener-friendly sounds, The Alternative is almost industrial without the excessive noise. Taking the buzzes from that genre and mixing them with electro elements, orchestral washes and Corner's dangerous delivery makes for a tempting mix." - Remix Magazine "IAMX is living in Berlin these days, and you can hear that city bleeding through any number of the more dramatic moments on The Alternative... chillingly Bowie-esque." - Alternative Press "[The Alternative] is a wonderfully atmospheric album, dark without being abrasive, and the whole thing builds and ebbs like a good DJ set. This is a catchy, addictive slice of electropop." - Blogcritics "Like a sleek, modernist upgrade of Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine." - Guardian, UK "Lest ye think it's all Caligula-with-a-synthesizer and the record is gonna leave fluids and used needles on your record player, don't worry, sweetness - the ratio of Saturday night to Sunday morning is way more even than you'd expect." - Movement Magazine
