"Why? Partly because it's an area that the makers of music tech struggle to capture, and it's where the artist is most exposed to the risk of sounding shit. This rhetorical question and answer encapsulates Jenkinson's motivation for exploring melodic and jazzy territories, acknowledging both the technical limitations of music production software and the artistic vulnerability required when venturing into unfamiliar sonic landscapes."
""K2 Central," which is funky and regal at the same time. This track serves as the preview for Kammerkonzert's new direction, demonstrating how Squarepusher balances groove-oriented elements with sophisticated, majestic qualities, representing the album's departure from his traditional hardcore rave aesthetic toward more nuanced and atmospheric production."
Tom Jenkinson, performing as Squarepusher, announces Kammerkonzert, his 16th studio album arriving April 10 via Warp Records. Departing from his signature hardcore rave sound characterized by breakneck tempos, the album emphasizes melody and jazzy, atmospheric textures. Jenkinson explains this stylistic pivot partly stems from music technology's difficulty capturing these elements, combined with the artistic challenge of avoiding poor execution in such exposed territory. The single "K2 Central" exemplifies the album's direction, blending funky and regal qualities. The album features 14 tracks with titles following a K-numbered naming convention.
