Squarepusher is releasing a new album this spring.

Comprised of 14 tracks, Kammerkonzert is Tom Jenkinson’s 21st studio LP under the pseudonym, and combines elements of orchestral music with experimental electronic sounds. The record’s title translates from German to English as ‘chamber concert’.

This is Squarepusher’s first album release since 2024’s Dostrotime, and it’s led by the single ‘K2 Central’, which you can listen to below.

Warp Records will release Kammerkonzert on 10 April 2026.

In this month’s subscriber essay, Kyle MacNeill loads up The Getaway, a perfectly preserved simulator of The Big Smoke in its the early 00s

“She’s not the slightest bit squeamish about a bit of claret.” Outside my penthouse flat, a gang of mercenaries are squabbling about how to kidnap my son. As I get to the window, I see them shoot my wife and snatch the kid before bundling into a red Jensen Interceptor. My wife dies into my arms, gasping a dying request: “Get our son back.” Fight and flight fuse together and I jump into my green Alfa Romeo, in hot pursuit of the Jensen. Pumping techno soundtracks the chase, sounding for all the world as if Luke Slater…

Understated yet subtly devastating, the Oakland, California-baed artist turns down the aggression of previous album Spike Field in favour of a more tender kind of violence

Credit: Senny Mau

In life and art, strong emotional reactions and restraint are frequently placed at odds with one another. A decade that has felt unmoored at best and marked by upheaval – dotted with climate events that have wrought havoc on different locales and been quickly forgotten – has inspired plenty of bold artistic responses. For Maria BC, an artist whose work has covered dark folk and goth territory and who has explored the potential of different electronic elements, the impulse to respond to these environmental pressures by being louder, denser, more aggressive would seem…

The Odes

Dejeuner Sous L’Herbe

Blurt’s punk poet Ted Milton teams up with Sam Britton for some linguistic détournement, backed by tense electronics

Déjeuner Sous L'Herbe by The Odes

Dejeuner Sous L’Herbe, The Odes’ new release, is a crazy, underground and slightly hellish poetic collage by the revered Ted Milton of Blurt and co-conspirator Sam Britton (aka Isambard Khroustaliov). Milton, who has rubbed shoulders with none other than William S. Burroughs as well as Eric Clapton, pours no wave punk agitation into about 35 minutes and 43 tracks of dadaist linguistic abstraction. The release is presented as two halves: part one music, part two isolated voice.

Édouard Manet’s painting, Le Dejeuner Sur L’Herbe is flipped on its head on The Odes’ album cover artwork and…

Warren Hatter reflects on a life of an extraordinary and innovative artist, ignored for most of her life before being celebrated this century and creating a wave of thrilling collaborations in her eighties

Portrait via Bandcamp

Only a handful of people over 25 years old could honestly say they grew up with the music of groundbreaking French composer Éliane Radigue, because her work was largely unreleased or unknown until this century. So the scale and warmth of the reaction to her death on Monday can’t be attributed to nostalgia, though it is what you’d expect on the passing of a long-loved artist. Instead, this widespread love for Radigue and the impact she has had on so many listeners and artists is a…

Vic Bang

Oda

Sampling and synthesizing sounds both uncannily familiar and eerily strange, Argentine artist Victoria Barca has made a sinuous ode to small things

Oda by vic bang

How and where we listen to music is hugely important. I would venture to say that it often has a significant impact on how we perceive it. I listen to Oda by Argentine artist Vic Bang in my aunt’s temporary flat, where I am staying now. In one room, a huge carpet several metres long lies on the floor, while in the next, the walls are lined with panelling. I feel a bit like I’m in a Kashubian cottage on holiday by the lake in the 1990s, while on the other hand, it feels like a variation…

Jakub Knera offers us ten entry points into the back catalogue of the guitar player who is at home in the world of folk and sea shanties as he is covering Autechre and Aphex Twin. Main image by Petra Cvelbar

Just when you think you know everything there is to know about the guitar, here comes Shane Parish to show that you are mistaken. This can be heard on both acoustic and electric instruments; in brilliant recordings made with the Bill Orcutt Quartet and Ahleuchatistas; playing his own music and interpreting shanties and songs by Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, and Autechre, as exemplified by his latest album, Autechre Guitar, released by Palilalia Records this week.

Since his first serious band, the Union Prayer…
