David Toop, the musician, author, and music academic, has announced a new series of albums. The first is Apparition Paintings, his next studio album. (The title is derived from a 12th and 13th century Chinese painting technique.) The second is Field Recording and Fox Spirits, which is a collection of “personal recordings” from Toop that spans live performance, interviews, and yes, field recordings. It will be accompanied by a 40-page book featuring an “extended conversation with David Toop” and “extensive visual works and photographs from his archive.” Both arrive September 11 via Room40. Watch a video for new song “Suddenly the World Had Dropped Away” below.
Toop’s most recent release, Entities Inertias Faint Beings, was issued in 2016.
