Jim O'Rourke's Old News series continues with this, the ninth installment. This new release is unique in the series in that it is the first to feature an all-new composition. The work here showcases the kind of experimental concrete drift which O'Rourke has been exploring for a number of years, resulting in a magical blend of musical abstraction. Whistling drones morph into crystallized rain, shortwave chaos folds into haunting organ landscapes, and the intimacy of this particular journey is witnessed through the ebbing tides of sound that emanate throughout this monumental release. Available only in this format.

Hot on the heels of Jim O'Rourke's Old News #5 comes #6, a new 70+ minute electronic piece split over four sides. Two years in the making, "All That's Cold Is New Again" was partly commissioned by Christian Zanesi for GRM's Présences Électronique Festival in Paris. An intense and rewarding listen, rich in detail and full of some classic O'Rourke hooks and turns, which he has masterfully developed over the last two decades.
