About this album
PHASE 99 : American Heartland is a 13-song album from NEXT, released in 2024. It's country and blues, dark, mysterious and dramatic, built on electric guitar, drums and bass. The songs run 86 to 168 BPM, in keys like E minor, D minor and C minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (bass, percussion and guitar) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Every track is cleared and licensed through ITGM, with the rights handled for you. See how it works on our music licensing page, or search the full catalog by mood, reference track or video at /music.
