High Life

High Life

Within weeks of the release of their acclaimed debut album<br>Someday World, Warp is excited to reveal that the collaboration<br>between Brian Eno and Karl Hyde continues with a<br>second full-length album, High Life, to be released July<br>1st.<br>Written and recorded across a series of recording sessions<br>in April of 2014 (some of which were open to selected<br>media from around the world), none of the music on High<br>Life existed before Someday World was completed! The<br>resulting record, at 6 tracks and 45 minutes, is the clearest<br>expression yet of the 'Reichkuti' (Steve Reich meets Fela<br>Kuti) direction that first brought the Eno Hyde collaboration<br>into being. And as the polyrhythms and melodies build, swirl<br>and syncopate, the album feels truly alive with the energy of<br>this time in the studio.<br>High Life reunites Eno and Hyde with the 20 year old<br>producer/multi-instrumentalist Fred Gibson, previous<br>Eno-collaborator Leo Abrahams on guitar, drummer Chris<br>Vatalaro, and keyboardist Don E. Taken alongside Someday<br>World, it provides a fascinating insight in to how consistent<br>influences can lead to very different but connected music, and<br>continues to tell the story of two iconic musicians collaborating<br>and exploring together. We look forward to seeing how fans<br>select their own favorites across the two albums.
