The digital album arrives May 10th, 2024, with the physical CD release set for June 14.

Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itselfsuddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. In Stereophonic, Adjmi invites the audience toimmerse themselves—with fly-on-the-wall intimacy—in the powder keg process of aband on the brink of blowing up.
The Stereophonic creative team includes David Zinn (scenic designer), Enver Chakartash (costume designer), Jiyoun Chang (lighting designer), Ryan Rumery (sound designer), Justin Craig (music director), and Gigi Buffington (voice, text,and dialect coach). Production stage manager is Erin Gioia Albrecht and Andie Burns serves as assistant stage manager.
The Album is available for preorder here.
