Veteran beat producer and Bruce Lee level Monome slinger Daedelus announced September 17 as the release date for a new full-length album, Drown Out, on Anticon Records. One of the forefathers of the modern West Coast beat community, Daedelus is also one of the more prolific producers around. Drown Out will be his 14th LP offering since his first release in 2001 (to go along with 15 EPs released in the same time period), during which time he's worked with nearly every staple electronic label under the sun, including Alpha Pup, Ninja Tune, Brainfeeder, Mush, Plug Research, and his own label Magical Properties. That scatterbrained creativity is what drives the music, and it's what makes Daedelus practically an entire genre unto himself.
About the album, Anticon writes, "There’s a sadness that courses through Drown Out. During its gestation, Daedelus grappled with deaths of his grandmother and friend and collaborator, Austin Peralta, as well the debilitating illness of another close family member forced him to take a sabbatical from touring. The grief is exorcised not through overwrought builds and releases, but through quiet ripples and agnostic hymnals—a winding and unraveling of nerves."
