On June 16th, Hudson Mohawke will release his new solo album, Lantern, through Warp Records. In anticipation, the LP is streaming in its entirety via iTunes.
Lantern serves as the Scottish producer’s second full-length to date and follows 2009’s Butter LP and last year’s Chimes EP. For the 14-track effort, the Kanye West associate and TNGHT producer enlisted the help of guest collaborators Miguel, Antony, and Jhené Aiko, among others.
In an interview with Paper, HudMo spoke about the new approach he adopted for Lantern:
“I think as far as putting this record together it was much more about being an exercise in restraint. The first record was like 10,000 fucking sounds everywhere, whereas with the new record I’ve really tried to refine the sound and strip back the elements that are not completely necessary or adding anything to the actual song. That are just kind of there to fill up the space, which is what I was previously really, really into. My new approach is taking something that has a lot of elements and stripping it back to its purest form.”
