Described by the label Cosmo Rhythmatic as “a meditation on loss”, King Midas Sound has reverted to the original duo of Martin and Robinson for an album that centres around the poet’s “haunting vocals”, with The Bug providing “a predominantly beatless musical backdrop.”
The album is the group’s first since their 2015 collaboration with Fennesz, Edition 1 – one of our favourite albums of 2015 – as well as their first album not to feature frequent collaborator Kiki Hitomi.
Solitude arrives on 14th February. Check out the cover art and track list below.
