Data Insight

Nine of the ten tracks carry one writer, and TIDAL splits that into matching composer and lyricist lines here rather than the combined writer line it uses on Shadow_Movement. The exception is Digital Bath, where the four Deftones writers hold the song and Brandon Smith is only performer and producer. Bandcamp's credits block does not carve that exception out, which is exactly why the TIDAL page earns its place: read from Bandcamp alone, a cover would come out looking like his own song.

Hologram is the second The Anix album for FiXT, out on 11 October 2019, and the first written start to finish inside the solo setup Brandon Smith had settled into. Ten tracks move between beat-led pieces such as Enemy In The Mirror and Live Forever and heavier electro-rock on Everlasting Love and Talking In My Sleep, which brought in Emmanuella as a guest. A cover of the Deftones song Digital Bath sits in the middle of the record, and TECHUNTER 2.0 reworks a track originally written for Techunter Magazine. Smith wrote, produced, performed, mixed and mastered the album and made all of the artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions Hologram

Is Digital Bath a cover?
Yes. It is a Deftones song from White Pony, and TIDAL credits it to Stephen Carpenter, Chi Cheng, Abe Cunningham and Chino Moreno. It is the only track on Hologram not written by Brandon Smith.
Who guests on Talking In My Sleep?
Emmanuella. FiXT put the track out as a single in June 2019, four months before the album, and both the single and the album list her as the featured artist.
What is TECHUNTER 2.0?
A rework of Techunter, which Brandon Smith originally composed for Techunter Magazine and released as a single in February 2019. The 2.0 version is the one that made the album.
Who made the Hologram artwork?
Brandon Smith. The album's own page credits him with conceiving, writing, producing, performing, mixing and mastering the record as well as creating all of the artwork.
Data note: TIDAL credits the producer of every track as The Anix. That resolves to Brandon Smith, whom Wikipedia and the label both establish as the only member from 2018 onward, and Bandcamp's credits block names him directly as producer, so the resolution is corroborated rather than assumed. Bandcamp states only that Brandon Smith wrote the album and does not except Digital Bath, which is a Deftones cover; the four writers on that track come from TIDAL. Deftones names are spelled to match the existing catalogue entry for White Pony, so the TIDAL spellings Abran Cunningham and Chino Camilo Moreno are entered as Abe Cunningham and as Chino Moreno in lyricists with Camillo Moreno in composers. Per-track performer roles come from the instrument list Wikipedia gives for him plus the album page's statement that he performed the record.
