Tim Hecker announces new album Love Streams
Canadian composer Tim Hecker has announced new LP Love Streams, his debut for 4AD.
In a press release, Hecker says he looked at ideas such as "liturgical aesthetics after Yeezus" and the "transcendental voice in the age of auto-tune."
He also cites 15th century choral scores, "transposed to an artificial intelligence-era language of digital resonance and bright synths", as influences.
The album was recorded over the past two years in Reykjavík's Greenhouse Studios (where he recorded parts of previous LPs Virgins and Ravedeath, 1972) with Kara-Lis Coverdale and Grimur Helgason, as well as the Icelandic Choir Ensemble. The Ensemble's arrangements were scored by Oscar-nominated composer Johann Johannsson.
Love Streams is out 8 April on 4AD. It follows 2013's Virgins.
