We are delighted to share the news that Marconi Union’s new album, Dead Air, is to be released on 29th November 2019.
“Marconi Union are amongst today’s most talented musicians” – Sunday Times
The new album will offer ample evidence of a band in its prime. Marconi Union still sound vital and original, enthused by the possibilities that music has to offer. “We’ve never wanted to repeat ourselves,” states Talbot. “We’ve made ten albums and have been going for 17 years, but it still feels fresh. That’s been so important for us all the way through. We’re looking to do new things all the time.”
Marconi Union’s career began in 2002, when Talbot and Crossley first met in Manchester. Starting with the following year’s Under Wires And Searchlights, they’ve created an explorative body of instrumental work that’s shifted between electronica, dub, minimalism, avant-jazz and ambient music. Along the way they’ve collaborated with the likes of Jah Wobble, remixed Max Richter and Vök and provided soundtracks for art installations and other visual media. They’ve also had their own music remixed by Biosphere and Japan’s Steve Jansen, among others.
“Marconi Union have always excelled at the creation of a sonic space in which to shelter” – The Quietus

Set The Weather Fair | New Digitonal Album
DigitonalAug 7th, 2020
“Set The Weather Fair is wordless music, but a narrative remains. It reflects the swell at Sizewell beach on a cold January morning, the landscape of North-Eastern Slovenia, the hope in new beginnings and seeking perspective within the vastness of the night sky. It is a record about changeability, permanence and the importance of creating things, big and small, artistic and human.” Andrew Dobson

The Dance’s Pattern | New Digitonal Single
DigitonalAug 6th, 2020
“The Dance’s Pattern is titled after a line from Auden. It reflects both the intricate unfolding of the polyrhythmic patterns in the tune but also the emotional corkscrew that the creative process often is. This was about Dom and I working around each other’s creative process, but more importantly how we felt about the act of creation which was vastly different and a complex emotional landscape to navigate.”
