Squarepusher has both released Shobaleader One: d’DEMONSTRATOR‘s nine song tracklist as well as a stream for a track called “Megazine”. You can check out both items below.
The electro oriented musician (born Tom Jenkinson) also revealed the origin behind the record. “Last summer a bunch of kids got in contact with me” he explained (via Clash Music). “They were talking about forming an ensemble, which I thought was a ridiculous idea but I was impressed by their perseverance so we met up.”
He continued: “Their idea was that they wanted the ‘fantasy group’ I had written about in connection with ‘Just A Souvenir’ to become a real entity that would record and tour. So we had a go at doing some recording and the story so far is documented on this record.”
Squarepusher and his yet to be disclosed group of kids plan to tour behind the record. He also added that he plans even more collaborative projects in the future.
“I’m writing more material for the band to record. It’s an ongoing experiment. Each one of us is trying to develop the sound of their instrument” he said.
“It’s really exciting to be involved with instrumental players who are as into sonic experimentation as much as the actual music. I’ve also been in contact with Andre [3000] from Outkast recently.” Um, yes please.
