Paul Woolford has channeled his Special Request alter ego for his next major release. Titled Belief System, the 23-track album will come out as a four-disc LP on London imprint Houndstooth, and it will exhibit more eclectic leanings than Woolford’s typical house and techno releases.
Woolford has not offered up a lead single from Belief System at this time. However, a 30-second teaser video posted to the Houndstooth YouTube channel is synced to a clip of an as-yet-untitled track from the effort.
The Prolific Paul Woolford
A statement from Houndstooth explains that Belief System has been an exercise on Woolford’s part in expanding the sonic horizons of his Special Request project. It promises “vast layers of atmospherics, unhinged modular work [and] contact microphone recordings of icebergs cracking,” in addition to “the introduction of stark soundtrack pieces.”
The news follows a recent stunt in which Woolford uploaded 20 tracks to his SoundCloud account for free download, several of which were Special Request works.
