The Brooklyn-based ensemble, Operator Music Band, featuring Dara Hirsch, Jared Hiller, and Daniel Siles, is set to unveil their EP, “Four Singles.” This release marks an exciting venture into acid-infused dance music, with its launch scheduled for March 22 through Deep Break Records.
In the midst of crafting these songs alongside producers Mike Bloom (XL) and Noah Prebish (Psymon Spine), a severe accident befell Hiller. He fell over 20 feet from a warehouse skylight directly into Rough Trade’s storage area. This unfortunate event forced the band to delay their releases as Hiller embarked on a recovery journey from extensive injuries, including two fractured wrists, six broken ribs, and facial injuries leading to permanent hearing loss.
Having largely recovered and found new energy, the trio is eager to continue their musical journey, beginning with the release of “As It Goes.” This single is launched alongside a music video, premiered by BrooklynVegan. Directed and edited by Hiller, the video is a poignant collection of footage documenting his path to recovery, interspersed with genuine moments of friendship and collaboration, all captured with a unique, observational allure.
