Aidan Moffat’s been busy with his L. Pierre disguise recently having just released an album called The Eternalist through Twitter Vine. Now the Scot has announced he’s dropping his latest full-length LP Surface Noise too.
Having his 2002 album Hypnogogia re-released in recent month also, Moffat told The Quietus that Surface Noise ”pays an affectionate tribute to the wear and tear of overplayed vinyl; the hiss, scratch and pop of records long loved but worn down. It’s the sound of survival, the echoes of a life lived well; moth eaten music of sadness and resilience, of beauty and backbone.”
The EP’s first track, ‘Movement I’ (of six) is streaming below.
