System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has finished recording and is currently mixing his new studio album, Imperfect Harmonies, the follow-up to his 2007 solo debut Elect The Dead.

“Imperfect Harmonies could be classified as rock because it is punchy with many peaks throughout, but the instrumentation is somewhat different.” Tankian says of his latest effort. “Though there are live drums, bass, and some guitars, the driving aspects are electronic and orchestral. It’s quite unique in its sound palette. This is, in essence, music that has sat in the vat and matured to a ripe sensation and is now ready to serve.”

Influenced by Tankian’s experience with Elect The Dead Symphony, a symphonic interpretation of his debut that had its inaugural performance in New Zealand with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in March 2009 (and  released as the Elect The Dead Symphony CD/DVD), Tankian is once again producing the record himself at his home studio in Los Angeles, to be released by Serjical Strike / Reprise Records in September.
