After 8 years without a studio album, he's finally back! Though not delivering what I would've expected after such a long break.

Kehlim I want to lay my ear onto the chest of Velvet Owl and listen to them, while they tell storys of fairies and monsters. Carlos Gonzalez Martinez Amon Tobin can make any sound his instrument. Odd but pleasant soundscapes from beginning to end, and more melodic that his previous albums. The album that followed, Adventures In Foam, paved the way for a whole generation of electronic productions and prompted his signing to the prodigious Ninja Tune in 1996.

Emerging from a new wave of London based singer/songwriters is Tom Hickox. Blending the structure and sentiment of such songwriting heavyweights as Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, and Nick Drake, with the innovative and contemporary sounds of Air and The Super Furry Animals, Hickox has moulded a highly original sonic form. At once complicated and simple, quirky and passionate; these songs when stripped bare reveal a great voice and song. The blood flows from a very English heart, think Bowie, Morrissey and Curtis.

About Fear in a Handful of Dust. Fear in a Handful of Dust Q&A. Producers Amon Tobin.

Fear in a Handful of Dust is the eighth studio album by Brazilian electronic musician Amon Tobin. It was released on 26 April 2019.

Amon Tobin's first full-length on his own Nomark label, rather than his longtime home Ninja Tune, moves further away from the jazzy, breakbeat-driven mode of his earlier material and closer to the intense sound design of his soundtrack work and video game scores. These are highly intricate electro-acoustic pieces that bring to mind composers like Morton Subotnick and György Ligeti rather than any of Tobin's former labelmates.

It's worth emphasising something here: Fear In A Handful Of Dust is a very approachable Amon Tobin record. It is highly unconventional, full of alien timbres and strange logic. But, as was the case with much of his music in the past couple decades, you don't need to be in a specific kind of mood to enjoy it. To call it ambient would be misleading, but the album does allow you to slip immediately into a similar embrace. Perhaps Tobin's biggest accomplishment is that he mostly achieves this through tone and texture alone.
