WAXXX Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Jon Hopkins has announced the details for his first album in five years, Singularity. In addition to the new album, he has unveiled the first single from the album titled “Emerald Rush.” The nine-track album will be released on May 4 via Domino Records. It is his first artist album since 2013’s Immunity, though he did mix a beautiful Late Night Tales compilation in 2015. According to a press release, Singularity, "flows seamlessly from rugged techno to transcendent choral music, from solo acoustic piano to psychedelic ambient. Its epic musical palette is visceral and emotionally honest: with a destructive opener full of industrial electronics and sonic claustrophobia and a redemptive, pure end on solo piano." It is meant to be consumed in one sitting. Jon Hopkins teased at the end of February that there would be music coming in 2018 with a stunning preview video. Now he is delivering on that promise. “Emerald Rush” comes with an accompanying animated video as well, which you can view below, though make sure you head to a streaming service or digital portal to pick up the long version. freedumb and whoa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Shipping is rough so I may scout for some options, but damn has it been a long wait. I still bump Immunity here and there, today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I really dislike how Domino wont let you combine shipping on two or more items that are "pre-orders". Does anyone know a way around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 That mock up on Domino looks quite nice. $10 shipping, no thanks. Wonder if this will have an indie exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoa Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 My body is ready for this, love this track. But I can't understand how this mini-site's cart is different from the main site's cart so combining shipping is impossible - tried every which way and it's not happening.

SE7EN Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hope this can come somewhere close to Immunity! Definitely in for the deluxe, if another site has lower shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think of the new single? I thinks it’s pretty fresh without being too big of a departure in a wild direction – still has that Hopkins energy and groove as far as I’m concerned.

Good to hear. I wanted Emerald Rush to last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I haven’t watched the video but I skipped the amended version and jumped straight to the full track. (Both are available on Spotify.) I definitely got the sense that it is a piece to a much grander and more dynamic puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zdkaiser Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I messaged Bullmoose to see if they will have the blue vinyl press or if they know about an indie exclusive, if one exists. I'll let y'all know their response. Might have to pay the $10 to get the limited version shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckle Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 $20 shipping to Canada and noticing the blue is appearing elsewhere (w/o the signed print) so I will hold off for now, but Immunity was top notch and I'm pumped for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackshidt Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I will wait to order elsewhere as well. Shipping is $10.00 to the USA, implying the shipment is coming from the UK since that is a high price. Yet, they also want to collect California Sales Tax, implying the shipment is from within the USA, and probably within California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkazoid Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Definitely in for this, though holding out for a better price. Have loved pretty much everything this man produces. Can't wait to hear this in full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zdkaiser Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Anyone find the blue vinyl in the US for less than $30 shipped? I have the black press preordered on Amazon in hopes that price will drop and I'll get it for $20-$23 with that pre-order guarantee. Will cancel if,i can find a good,priced blue pressing.
