2562 announces next LP The New Today, to be delivered via fabulous rays of sunshine

So, for various reasons not limited to the souring of the term by the likes of prominent Canadian thing-flickers, traditional dubstep has seen a waning in popularity over the past few years. Presumably, at least a few of the artists who were a part of that scene have gone on to become accountants keen on dropping that… financial bottom line, but a few others, such as Dave Huismans a.k.a. 2562, have followed their musical momentum down the path that it was leading anyway — toward something a little more ambiguous in the rhythmic landscape. It’s not quite house. It’s not quite techno. It’s… god damn it, is it okay to resort to the umbrella cop-out category “electronic” in this case? The career genre hyphenators are apparently too busy working on the rock side of things these days.

Huisman’s A Made Up Sound project has seen more attention lately with the release of a few heart-pounding singles and 12-inches, but with The New Today on October 20, the Utrecht resident is marking a revival of the (somewhat more melodic) numerical. A press release describes the new album in terms that might be a verbal rendition of a Picasso, mentioning a “collage” of influences relating to post-punk, musique concrète, krautrock, “new age tapes,” and others that might not be totally obvious when you listen to the single below.

Why not live in the moment? It’s a sweet track. The album’s out on Huismans’s own When In Doubt label.
