LISTEN: Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst

Give Recruit, the first new track of the year from the experimental composers, a play below

Longstanding tQ favourite Holly Herndon recently put out a new track, ‘Recruit’ – take a listen above, via RVNG Intl’s SoundCloud. Made with her frequent collaborator Mat Dryhurst for the autumn/winter collection of menswear designer Cottweiler, it’s a long-form piece, clocking in at eleven-and-a-half minutes, meshing field recordings, isolated beats and Herndon’s favoured manipulated vocal loops.

tQ staff and writers voted Herndon’s ‘Chorus’ their favourite track of last year – have a look at the video for that below:
