Just Music are delighted to announce the long awaited release of Jon Hopkins' new album, Insides, this Monday, May 4th.
"From Autechre-like intensity to stadium sized electronica" Q Magazine
Insides is deep, beautiful and full of euphoric surprises. Insides is about juxtaposition: natural, arcane textures welded to pulsing, hypnotic rhythms, beautiful acoustic melodies set against jarring bass. Above all, Insides is an audacious album which boasts a magical aura all of its own.
Insides showcases Hopkins' intriguing musical aesthetic to brilliant effect. His ethereal compositions transcend genres, melding digital coldness with subtle, bucolic textures; veering from simple elegance to strange, unsettling sonic depths.
Jon will be showcasing the new album with his amazing lve show at the Album launch at the ICA on July 1st, alongside the legendary David Homes
Light Through The Veins is the first single taken from forthcoming album, Insides. The single is available on 12? from the Just Music Store
At an epic nine minutes in length, Light Through The Veins is a work of classic, hypnotic electronica. It draws the listener in with each pure, serpentine note, rises to a propulsive, euphoric climax, before finally dissolving into an ending of heartrending beauty and sadness. In fact, Coldplay were so taken with Light Through the Veins they used a reworked version to bookend last year's bestselling Viva La Vida and invited the 28-year-old Londoner to spend the last six months of 2008 opening their live shows across the USA and Europe.
