Paul Kalkbrenner Readies New Album
His seventh full-length outing will be his first since signing to a major label
Veteran melodic techno producer Paul Kalkbrenner, who recently signed to Columbia/Sony, has announced that he’ll release a new LP in the summer. As Resident Advisor reports, the album samples artists such as Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan, a result of Kalkbrenner being the “first artist to ever be given access to the master vaults and tapes of Sony and Columbia,” thus removing the legal hurdles that artists normally face in clearing major-label samples. The LP, which is Kalkbrenner’s seventh and is simply entitled 7, will get its full release on Columbia on August 7. Its lead single “Cloud Rider” can be heard over on Spotify now, and we have included the album’s full tracklist below.
