More Accessible

The new album, entitled Hello Everything, from Squarepusher, aka Tom Jenkinson, is out next week and, i have to say, what i've heard from it is pretty awesome. It seems alot more focused than his previous offerings, especially Ultravisitor, which went pretty much everywhere it could, and some of the tracks have these great little melodies through them, which, all in all, make this album an easy listen... for a Sqaurepusher album that is. But die-hard fans, don't worry, Tom still pushes himself and boundaries here. There's a pretty mesmerizing bass solo-y bit halfway through opener Hello Meow and some of the beats and sounds he creates will make your head swim. We also get to see the more jazz side of Tom's playing, especially in the laid-back and quite funky Theme From Sprite, which really highlights his quite incredible bass talents. Its altogether an amazing record of dance/experimental sounds
