Andy Stott Announces New Album Late Loop: Hear “Something In Mind” (Feat. Elaine Howley)
Andy Stott fans have been starving. The Manchester producer last served up an album of moody, prismatic electronic music in 2021, with Never The Right Time . Five years later, it's finally the right time to follow it up. The post Andy Stott Announces New Album Late Loop : Hear “Something In Mind” (Feat. Elaine Howley) appeared first on Stereogum .
After a five-year wait, Manchester producer Andy Stott has finally released his highly anticipated follow-up album to 2021's Never The Right Time. Titled Late Loop, the new album is set to drop on October 30 via Modern Love. Stott imposed strict creative parameters for the album's composition, choosing to omit basslines, reverb, and effects beyond a delay unit. The objective was to reinvent his creative process and produce songs instead of merely textures.
Working alongside two vocalists, Stott enlisted the talents of new collaborator Elaine Howley and his longstanding partner Alison Skidmore. Each track features one of these two singers, resulting in a diverse and captivating collection of songs. The first taste of the album is the mesmerizing "Something In Mind," a collaboration with Howley that showcases the foggy trip-hop/downtempo soundscape while remaining undeniably a structured song.
With the release of "Something In Mind," Stott has successfully achieved his goal, proving that the wait was indeed worthwhile. The full album can be pre-ordered now.
