With just over a month to go until the release of new album Blossoms, the innovative electronic duo serve up a huge slab of experimentalism on new single "Axil".

Listen to "Axil" now

Exploring emerging AI and machine learning as another tool in their arsenal to manipulate sound, "Axil" sees Emptyset dissolve the boundaries between organic sound sources and digital synthesis, the piece shifting from fragmented pulses of icy sonics to churning tectonic rhythms.

Blossoms is available to pre-order now

Emptyset will be premiering the Blossoms live show at Unsound Festival in Krakow Oct. 6-13th

Extremely excited to announce the new collab album from the guitarist Ryley Walker and Chicago percussionist Charles Rumback.

Listen to the first single "Half Joking"

Their sophomore release as a duo, Little Common Twist compiles some of of the most adventurous and emotive work in either players back catalogue, touching on elements of American primitive guitar and folk traditions, even pushing out into heady ambient territory at times. A big one for fans of Marisa Anderson, Robbie Basho and Van Morrison's classic Veedon Fleece (seriously).

Little Common Twist is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent pink vinyl.
