A few weekends ago green blimps were seen flying over London with both 2014 and the Aphex Twin logo on it. Then people started spotting the logo on the streets of New York City. Speculation turned towards the release of a new album, and that is indeed the case. I
t’s a new album titled Syro, and it’s his first in 13 years (since 2001’s Drukqs). He made the announcement on the site Tor, which revealed the tracklist and the image posted above.
He recently spoke to The Fader, and they provided the following bits of information ahead of the full interview which is coming soon:
- The oldest track on Syro was recorded six or seven years ago, but there are a lot of newer compositions on there, too.
- Syro wouldn’t be a one-off—it’s got him “kicked into gear” for a new period of output.
