Taken from his forthcoming album Detritus (out on November 15, 2019), Brighton’s Marcus Hamblett has today released his new single ‘Lost At Sea’. Mary Anne Hobbs just premiered it on her BBC 6 Music show and called it one of her favourite albums of the season. It features Kate Stables of This Is The Kit, who Marcus also plays cornet with.
It’s described as an upbeat number – drones, guitars and drums creep in from behind ambient studio chatter to settle into a groove that will spellbind fans of Can, Stereolab and Aphex Twin alike. Listen below:
The album features contributions from James Holden, Colin Stetson, Emma Gatrill, Ben Lanz (of The National, Beirut, LNZNDRF), Mathieu Charbonneau (of Timber Timbre), Tom Heather (of Eyes & No Eyes, Woodpecker Wooliams), Helen Whitaker, Kev Nickells, Etienne Jaumet (of Zombie Zombie) and more. It’s out November 15th via Willkommen Records and you can presave or preorder it here.
