The Chemical Brothers return with first album in five years

The Chemical Brothers will release their latest album, Born In The Echoes, via Astralwerks on July 17th. 

The last LP from the UK giants came in 2010, with a live album and soundtrack work (for Hanna and Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1) following. For the new record, Pitchfork say the duo has enlisted a number of high-profile features, with guest appearances coming from St. Vincent, Beck, Q-Tip, Cate Le Bon, and Ali Love. 

The group was just announced as a headliner for LA’s HARD Summer 2015 festival, though as NME reports, core member Ed Simons has quit touring to focus on academic work, ceding live duties to co-founder Tom Rowlands and visual collaborator Adam Smith. 

Annie Mac premiered the first single off Born In The Echoes on her BBC Radio 1 show earlier today. Check it out below. 

Tracklist
01. Sometimes I Feel So Deserted

Matrixxman is Homesick on new LP for Ghostly International

Matrixxman will release his first full-length Homesick via Ghostly International on July 10th. 

The Bay Area artist born Charlie Duff has released 12 EPs since 2013, spreading out his tracks across labels like Dekmantel, Soo Wavey Records (the imprint he runs with Vin Sol) and Spectral Sound. 

On Homesick’s twelve tracks, he explores Detroit-informed techno, electro and ambient soundscapes while indulging a longtime interest in contemporary science fiction. The record references both Motor City landmarks (“Packard Plant”) and cutting-edge neuroscience (“Annika’s Theme”). Seemingly obsessed with futurist inventor Ray Kurzweil’s theory of singularity, Duff expounds on the themes of artificial intelligence which inspired Homesick: “We will have the technological capability to fully map out a human brain in its entirety within 30 years,” he says. “The implications of such a possibility are deep and far reaching. We will be crossing a Rubicon towards a new phase in human consciousness. I am one person that is prepared to take that step.” 

Prepare for what’s in store with album track “Augmented,” streaming below. 

Tracklist
01. Necronomicon
02. Augmented
03. Red Light District
04. Packard Plant
05. Dejected
06. Network Failure
07. False Pattern Recognition
08. Opium Den
09. Annika’s Theme
10. HMU (Hit Me Up)
11. Switchblade
12. Earth Like Conditions

Ghostly International will release Homesick on July 10th, 2015.
