Thank goodness for that, Squarepusher has finally made his triumphant return, and boy oh boy was it worth the wait. The new track and video are taken from his upcoming album Ufabulum set to be released 14/15th May.
The tune, Dark Steering, feels like some kind of future apocalyptic backing track, almost like Tron but on a really really bad day with much darker and twisted characters. Think Tron meets Sin CIty
This is what Sqaurepusher had to say….
“For a while I had apocalyptic nightmares about trails of nuclear missiles in the night sky. So I aimed to recreate that strange combination of exhilaration, terror and sadness both visually and emotionally through this piece. It lead to the idea of a spacecraft leaving earth at vast speed to escape, but oddly the music also made me think of it flying through a library. So I generated the visual aspect such that, as the piece progresses, it seems as if the viewer is ever accelerating through massive corridors of books.”
The video is a visual feast for the eyes, with a light shows and a helmet that will put Daft Punk, Nero and Deadmau5 to shame.
Check the video below and hold tight for the album coming in May.
