Aphex Twin Aphex Twin MIGHt be releasing a new album soon

March 16, 2009

Saw this on Pitchfork

Warp Records founder Steve Beckett seems just as excited by the prospect of a new Aphex Twin album as the rest of us. And he also seems as clued in to the album's progress as the rest of us.

"We're definitely going to be putting out a new album by him," he told BBC 6 Music. "Hopefully it will be this year, if I can prise it out of his hands. It's definitely on its way."

Beckett added, "I don't know a single note or anything about it. It will be as much of a surprise to me as anyone else. Basically I find out what it sounds like when we go into the mastering room and he puts it - well how it used to be, he'll put the DAT player in and there it'll be - so that's the first time I'll hear it. Then I'll go onto my knees and thank him and then we'll put it out."

So, yeah. Don't hold your breath or anything.
