IDM godfathers Autechre are outdistancing their 2016 effort Elseq that brought fans over four hours of new music. This time, get ready for eight hours of original material, collected together in a whopping 12 LPs or 8 CDs – not to mention countless gigs as high-quality digital downloads.
The NTS Sessions chronicle Autechre’s radio residency airing this month. And the great news is that the first session is up now! What are you waiting for?? Oh, a link? Fair enough.
Sessions 2 through 4 air on April 12, 19 and 26 at 17:00-19:00 Central European Time.
Pre-orders for all of these glorious distractions from the drudgery of waking life are currently available right here.
