Kieran Hebden has undergone something of a transformation in recent years: a regular residency at London’s Plastic People club saw him gaining recognition from dance music circles, and his productions have followed suit, venturing ever further into house music territory and increasingly mirroring the dynamics of the dancefloor. Still, the producer hasn’t lost the loyalty of his original fanbase, and many have doubtless been waiting with baited breath for his return to the album format.
Today, Hebden took to his blog to announce the details of Pink, his first long player since 2010’s There Is Love In You. As you might expect from a club music convert, the album is more a collection of pre-existing tracks rather than a new, self-contained statement: six of the eight tracks featured have already seen vinyl-only releases on Hebden’s own Text imprint. ‘Lion’ and ‘Peace For Earth’ are the only two that haven’t seen release previously – though Hebden promises to put them out on vinyl “one day”.
Pink will be released on Text on 20th August. Full tracklist below.
- ‘Locked’
- ‘Lion’
- ‘Jupiters’
- ‘Ocoras’
- ‘128 Harps’
- ‘Pyramid’
- ‘Peace For Earth’
- ‘Pinnacles’
