Locust, the project of iconic English electronic musician Mark Van Hoen, are excited to share the new album, Spectral+ via TODO Records. Spectral+ is an eclectic, uniquely slanted collection that draws on classic influences including Giorgio Moroder, Brian Eno, My Bloody Valentine, and Boards of Canada as jumping-off points into fresh territory, with a cast of musicians including Neil Halstead of Slowdive, Olive Kimoto, Natasha Morrow, Nick Holton of Black Hearted Brother, and Griff Spex, whose industrial electronic edge brings an unexpected and thrilling dimension to the record. The album announcement follows significant anticipation from devotees since Van Hoen assembled a new live configuration with whom he has been premiering new material across select U.S. dates since September-including headlining Perfectly Imperfect's Elsewhere takeover, And Always Forever Festival, and Flower Moon Festival-marking their first live performances since supporting Massive Attack in the 90s. In recent years, the project has cultivated a formidable cult following. The audiences comprise not only those who remember his tours with Autechre and Aphex Twin, but a burgeoning younger generation discovering Locust via the trip-hop revival and social media visibility
