DESCRIPTION

As a singer, poet, songwriter, visual artist, film producer, activist and composer, Serj Tankian, lead vocalist and lyricist for the GRAMMY© Award-winning rock band System of a Down, is always creating, always looking ahead. In 2024, this has brought him to a place where he is also excavating his past and embracing and re-evaluating it in the present. His recent memoir, the New York Times bestseller Down with the System, saw him dive deep into the principles, passions and philosophies that have fueled his life in and out of music. Similarly, his new EP, Foundations, mines music and lyrics from previous decades and reframes them in a hard-hitting, intensely focused collection. It is, Tankian says, “A retrospective of songs from different eras of my life, meant to complement the memoir.”

Like all of Tankian’s work, the five tracks that comprise Foundations encompass a wide range of sounds and styles. It is music that traverses multiple eras and vast swaths of emotions. It is also very much a rock album – “music of rebellion,” as Tankian puts it. 

A true creative tour de force, Tankian recorded Foundations primarily at his own Serjical Strike Studios in L.A. He wrote, performed, orchestrated and produced all the material, as well as contributed the artwork – an original piece titled “Sunburst” – that adorns the album cover. Additional instrumentation on the record was provided by Dan Monti (guitars, bass and drum programming) and, on “Cartoon Buyer,” by bassist Mario Pagliarulo and SOAD drummer John Dolmayan. 

“Foundations" is due on November 1st via Gibson Records in the USA and everywhere else via Music On Vinyl.

The Music On Vinyl edition exclusively includes the instrumentals of the 5 tracks on side B.

It will be limited to 1250 individually numbered copies on Voodoo coloured vinyl and will include an insert.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can also check out our complete FAQ section here.

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

By buying a product from our shop, you’re buying a great product which has been made
with care. But vinyl is a delicate product, and each pressing is unique!

This means that some products can differ from how they look on our website compared with the physical product. On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.

To sum up, it can indeed differ slightly from the picture on our website, but it also means you have a true one of a kind, very rare copy!
