Laurel Halo has a new one coming out soon — specifically, Chance Of Rain, out October 28 on Hyperdub — and she’s just released the first preview with the seven-minute “Ainnome.” The cut, based off live hardware improvisations, features aggressive, driving technoid beats offset by ambient washes, an approach made less contradictory by the track’s persistence on jamming these two modes of music-making together. If Halo is attempting to explore the intersection between movement and stillness, then the movement slightly wins on this one: its articulation of time may evoke suspension, but this song moves undeniably forward.
