Squarepusher will release a new EP next month.

Lamental follows Squarepusher’s first album in five years, Be Up A Hello, released on Warp in January. It reveals a contemplative side to the music the UK artist, real name Tom Jenkinson, has been making over the last few years.

Jenkinson composed “MIDI Sans Frontières,” track three, in response to the EU referendum in 2016, and made the stems available to all, encouraging remixers to participate as a form of “internationalist collaboration with sound makers, irrespective of what kind of music they make, where they live, their background or their age.” Also included on the EP is Jenkinson’s own “Avec Batterie” deep breakbeat rework of the track.

The squelchy synth techno of “The Paris Track” is an accelerated interpretation of “Detroit People Mover,” which is taken from Be Up A Hello.

Squarepusher will embark on a world tour, taking him to Japan, Canada, the United States, and Europe, ending back in England in August. His May 15 show at London’s The Roundhouse will feature Paranoid London, Scalping, and Ray Keith.
