Maybe another time.

I had gone as far as getting tickets my SO and I and picking out my outfit.

i remember seeing that the gig here for be up a hello was postponed when the pandemic started.. i had hopes still then.. it was cancelled. 

i hope again for opportunity to buy a ticket to hear all this in a big room w/a bunch of other people and feel like i'm in the right place.

Covid all the flights were shut down at that point. Tbh it was half Covid and half the civil unrest and riots that followed….We had a trip to Iceland booked that year too and none of the airlines were flying.

Yes, Tom plz. We need '20 redemption. As everyone made good on the "rescheduled" appearances across '21, '22 and '23 and there was no Tom, my heart sank.

I say this because, honestly, if you do enough electronic shows, they can become boring in a way but not Squarepusher. Every time I've seen him, it was something new and explosive. 

Damn love that spooky synth weaving in behind the acid line.
Definitely feeling a bit dirtier and looser than the previous album. Nice crunchy textures.
He's still got it, baby.

damn I didn't know he just upped and cancelled in NA

I had tickets for the 2019 show in London and it eventually happened in October of 2021

And yeah, despite him being in his 'eh, it's ok I guess' album era since 2006, he always fucking slays live

Are bucket hats like a normal thing to wear in the UK, or is this the Jenkinson special (Andy can rock a mean bucket hat too)?

Yeh even his damogen live sets were incredible and im not into that album - im looking at you Day For Night - tore it up!

But fuck me his vic acid set in Primaversa 2022 was unreal.. relentless, pounding acid/jungle assault. As far as I can see he LOVES his USA outings - coachella vodka set, Boston "You posess the knowldedge venus17 set".. so crrossing my fingers for a US tour for you guys

Someone is not part of the IDM fashion newsletter.... Ponytails and flip flops are out, bucket hats are IN.

After one listen of the single it sounded like a mix of Steinbolt and 303 Scopem Hard.

Also, here's the description given by Bleep:

 

From the man himself via warp...here here Tom!

For me, the lockdown of 2020 will always stand out as a remarkable time partly for the viscerality of its terrors, but also because of its novel, eerie, sublime silence. It afforded me (and no doubt other fortunate loners) a respite from the incessant distractions that can get in the way of important things such as doing nothing – or recording music. The cancellation of all live commitments meant the prospect of a year's worth of itineraries, airport security, hotels and no sleep was erased, and for some time I experienced a simple happiness not familiar in my adulthood. In a way it reminded me of being a child, where one knows big and awful stuff happens on the horizon but the current moment is a blissful sanctuary. Without customary interruptions, time elapsed differently: Dostrotime. I recorded extensively during that unusual period and went on to use some of that material as the basis for the rescheduled live shows of '21 &' 22. These events were remarkable for their tangible atmosphere of jubilation that lockdown was over and this album is indebted to the exhilaration of those shows. It is an attempt to capture the peculiarity of music catalysed by lockdown being part of the celebration of lockdown's demise.

Tom.

Hope he tours this album, that tracks deadly

PSA - Was pre-ordering just now and scrolling through the Squarepusher site. Apparently you can get a copy of Hello Everything on vinyl for...$15?! It says 1xLP though, so maybe its just a mislabeled CD or something. No clue. I already have a copy or I'd take the chance to find out.
