Surgeon Details New Album, ‘Shell~Wave’

The new project will be released by Tresor in May

Surgeon has a new album on the way for Tresor.

Titled Shell~Wave, the nine-track record follows 2023’s Crash Recoil and continues a partnership with Berlin’s Tresor label that stretches across almost three decades.

Expanding on the album’s motivations, Surgeon, real name Anthony Child, said in a statement: “To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I’ve been involved with it for a really long time and there’s a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I get asked, ‘What is techno to you?’, but I can’t answer that with words; this album is the answer.”

Listen to lead track ‘Soul Fire’ below.

Tresor will release Shell~Wave on May 2, 2025.
