Dutch ex-pat Martyn has inked a deal with UK underground outpost Ninja Tune, and his third album is already complete.
Entitled The Air Between Words, the record comes three years after Brainfeeder’s crunchy Ghost People and is billed as “an entirely new sonic direction.” Sadly there are few other clues as to where the DC-based producer could have taken his sound, but we do have a full tracklist, which reveals collaborations with Four Tet (who we’re guessing rarely leaves the studio at this point) and ex-Hype Williams knob twiddler/singer Inga Copeland (aka copeland).
Just before Christmas, Martyn hinted at The Air Between Words‘ completion with charity single ‘Be My Own Pupil‘. It was apparently culled from the album’s “lengthy sessions,” so we’re guessing it’s the best way to get at least some hint as to the record’s new direction. Take a listen below.
Tracklist:
01 Forgiveness Step 1
02 Glassbeadgames (with Four Tet)
03 Empty Mind
04 Drones
05 Love of Pleasure (with copeland)
06 Two Leads and a Computer
07 Forgiveness Step 2
