Tim Hecker - Virgins

http://pitchfork.com/news/51570-tim-hecker-announces-new-album-virgins/

 

Experimental electronic artist Tim Hecker will follow up 2011's excellent Ravedeath, 1972 with a brand new LP this fall. Titled Virgins, it's out October 14 via Kranky. (Paper Bag will release the album in Canada.) That's the cover, above, and tracklist below.

According to a press release, the album was recorded live last year in studios in Reykjavik, Montreal and Seattle-- an "almost percussive" and "airy, more defined" LP that "at times points to the theological aspirations of early minimalist music."

In advance of Virgins, Kranky will also reissue Hecker's 2004 album Mirages, which will be out on vinyl for the first time.

After the tracklist, check out a full set from Hecker performed last year in Italy.

"almost percussive," that got me interested. Maybe a more rhythmic Hecker?

hell no (hope so at least), jetone sucked ass. probably meant as pulsating drones or something.

I heard an unreleased track from his live set that was like some bells with distortion repeating a melody... nothing outstanding but quite good.
