Description
Damogen Furies, Squarepushers first full-length since 2012s Ufabulum, sees Jenkinsons kineticism in full flow while the techniques and craftsmanship that Jenkinson has honed over the course of his career are clear, Damogen Furies is a record with all the brutal energy and the vivaciousness of a debut.
2014 saw Squarepusher release Music For Robots, an EP composed by Jenkinson and performed by the three robots that comprise the Z-machines.
Damogen Furies is the culmination of years spent experimenting with and hacking hardware and software, rejecting limitations choosing instead a compositional process that places the act of building instruments at its heart. On Damogen Furies we hear a truthful, unembellished representation of how those instruments sound. All of the recordings here were made in one take, with no edits.
The album was announced with a digital download of Rayc Fire 2. Exploring themes of music ownership and uniqueness in a digital context, the web application used to acquire the track creates a generative image upon every download. Every image is unique and is based on an algorithmic distortion of the album artwork.
Last year Squarepusher played live to a record number of people and he continues extensive live touring this year with a recent sold out headline show at the Barbican in London and more European festivals and UK dates to come.
Double LP in printed inners and widespine sleeve, with download code.
In Warps own words: For fans of: Aphex Twin, Skrillex, Richie Hawtin, Four Tet.
