The album is the second solo released from the System Of A
Down frontman, following up his critically acclaimed 2007
solo debut Elect the Dead. As with Elect the Dead, Tankian
produced Imperfect Harmonies himself at his home studio in
Los Angeles.
"Where Elect the Dead was essentially a rock record with
progressive melodic elements," Tankian says. "Imperfect
Harmonies could be classified as rock because it is punchy
with many peaks throughout, but the instrumentation is
somewhat different. 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."
Imperfect Harmonies is as powerful and musically eclectic
as its predecessor.
"I have been calling the music 'electro-orchestral-jazz-
rock' because it has all of those aspects in prominence
within the songs," Tankian says. "A few are more stripped
down, but the majority of the songs have this huge wall of
sound presented in a way I've never heard before. It's not
common to have a song that is both electronic and
orchestral since one is synthetic and the other organic,
but I found a way of meshing a lot of these colors
together."
