Fennesz Announces Stripped-Back New LP

Fennesz' new album, due in March, sees him go back to basics

Fennesz has announced details of his seventh solo studio album, titled Agora. Below, you can hear a medley of the album’s four tracks.

The tracks on Agora came about after the producer recorded temporarily lost his normal full studio space and relocated part of his set-up to a small bedroom in his flat, leading to a more stripped-back sound.

"It was all done on headphones, which was rather a frustrating situation at first but later on it felt like back in the day when I produced my first records in the 1990s," Fennesz says. "I used very minimal equipment. I didn’t even have the courage to plug in all the gear and instruments which were at my disposal. I just used what was to hand."

Agora is set for release on March 29 via Touch.
