That will change with a June 4th reissue of his 1996 debut album on Aphex Twin‘s Warp Records.

The 25th anniversary edition will also arrive in CD and vinyl record format after the label ended physical manufacture of the original album over a decade ago. Included will be “Theme From Goodbye Renaldo” and “Deep Fried Pizza,” both of which originally appeared on the English producer’s Squarepusher Plays EP from the same year.

A 16-page booklet of photos and notes will also accompany the reissue.

Squarepusher (real name Tom Jenkinson) delivered Feed Me Weird Things after several years of producing music during the early ’90s, when dance music stratified into innumerable genres. His IDM, 8-bit and electronic jazz-adjacent brand of drum and bass also finally caught the attention of Ninja Tune and R&S Records. In the end, though, he turned down both of their offers to release his first studio-length effort on Warp.

Jenkinson has maintained a consistent pace of releases in the 25 years since, having released 16 full albums in total. In January 2020 he delivered Be Up A Hello followed by a five-song EP titled Lamental, also by way of Warp Records.

Squarepusher Shares “Detroit People Mover” Video Shot on Train of its Namesake https://selector.news/2020/04/16/squarepusher-detroit-people-mover-video/ https://selector.news/2020/04/16/squarepusher-detroit-people-mover-video/#respond Thu, 16 Apr 2020 16:20:26 +0000 https://selector.news/?p=1971 Squarepusher has shared the visual accompaniment for a sublime cut from his recent EP. “Detroit People Mover” derives its name from an elevated train encircling Downtown Detroit on which its official music video was filmed.

Shot in March of 2020, the “Detroit People Mover” video comprises a montage of clips of the city’s vacant streets amid COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. It’s synced to one of Lamental‘s five atypically languid tracks, which arrived by way of the producer’s own Warp Records imprint on April 10th.

Squarepusher’s 2020 in Hindsight

Lamental marks the second effort delivered by Squarepusher (real name Tom Jenkinson) in 2020. January saw him release Be Up A Hello on January 31st. The nine-track album offered fare more typical of Jenkins: sample-heavy drum and bass with predominantly 8-bit-inspired elements.

Jenkins has maintained a relatively steady pace of releases since his heyday at the turn of the millennium, which built on a foundation laid by his 1995 debut 12″ EP, Conumber. Prior to Be Up A Hello, his last studio-length effort was 2015’s Damogen Furies.

Lamental is out via Warp Records and can be purchased in vinyl or digital formats via the Squarepusher website.
