Brian Eno and Karl Hyde come together with a new album to be released this May on Warp Records.
Someday World
comprises nine songs, composed and sung by Eno & Hyde together with
a highly distinguished cast of supporting musicians, including Tessa
Angus, Nell Catchpole, Marianna Champion, Will Champion, Kasia
Daszykowska, Don E., Darla Eno, Georgia Gibson, Andy Mackay, John
Reynolds and Chris Vatalaro.
The release was produced by Brian Eno with 22 year old Fred Gibson,
continuing an ongoing collaboration between Karl and Brian which sees
the two together on a complete album for the first time.
“A lot of the nicer cities I know are cities built on hills, and the
cities are beautiful because the buildings have a challenge to adapt
to. They have to mould themselves around the geology that they've formed
upon. And that always makes for very interesting buildings, because
they can't just be blocks, they have to somehow morph around the
environment. A lot of the constructions on the album were deliberately
irregular and awkward.
I had a big collection of 'beginnings' sitting around waiting for
something to galvanise them into life, to make them more than just
'experiments'. That something turned out to be Karl Hyde.”
- Brian Eno
“It's a bit like being nine years old again. You have no idea what
you've just been given, the record button has been pressed and you're
on. And then these unlikely patterns start to happen. The biggest
surprise was discovering we both had a love of Afrobeat, Cyclical music
based in live playing. When Brian played me these early tracks it was,
'Oh my god, this is home! Can I borrow a guitar?”
- Karl Hyde
