Autechre - Mix for Neuvoids

Taken from the forthcoming album 'Brutalist' which is due for release on 10th January 2025.

"London-based composer and artist Robert Logan returns with Brutalist, a profound two-hour narrative of sonic exploration on Slowfoot Records. With 24 tracks spanning clinical dub techno, IDM, ambient, and electroacoustic experimentation, Brutalist is both vast and meticulously detailed—a stunning fusion of minimalism and cinematic texture." [Rendah Mag]

'Brutalist' marks the return of prodigious electronic producer Robert Logan, with his first full album on Slowfoot since 2016’s 'Flesh Decomposed'. Jumping from clinical dub techno to ambient, IDM and electro to leftfield electroacoustic experiments, Logan’s usual electronic / symphonic inspirations and ambitions are felt heavily yet are married to something new - a strange, driving minimalism sits at the core of this body of work. 

'Brutalist' is a potent, labyrinthine experience, containing 24 tracks recorded and produced over a 13-year period. This is ugly sounds sounding beautiful, impossible combinations working as music. Massive, monolithic structures emerging through rain, compositions demanding simultaneous introversion and dancing in underground bunkers. Music for after the fallout - a future reborn, remade from the elements. 

Just as Brutalism emerged in the aftermath of World War Two as an architectural statement of positive intent, an affirmation of the potential of human endeavour and of rebuilding the future after the horror and destruction that preceded it, so 'Brutalist' is a testament to the indomitable soul's capacity to rebuild amidst profound devastation. Robert Logan, faced with a crucible of severe chronic health difficulties, transmuted the pain into finishing an album, emerging with a retrospective work that reflects the spirit of architectural Brutalism – stark, raw, yet strangely beautiful. Amongst other sufferings, Logan suffered a devastating sound accident at the beginning of 2020 and spent lockdown battling catastrophic tinnitus, and this record is his attempt to revive from and appropriate the new difficulty. 

This latest addition to Logan’s oeuvre may be his most daring and experimental yet. It is infused with the same exploratory DNA as his inspirations - ranging from Aphex Twin and 20th-century classical music to Autechre, Photek, and more - but his sound remains undeniably his own. 

A mysterious, unassuming artist, Logan released his first solo album 'Cognessence', aged 19, to critical acclaim in 2007. Mary Anne Hobbs described the music on his debut as “absolutely outstanding… impossible to quantify”, with BBC Experimental calling Logan “…something of a prodigy… a man that is already showing a maturity and a musical/textural understanding that many simply never find.” Since then, Logan has carved out an unconventional career dictated by his ambition to explore the mental spaces sound can conjure. Aside from his impressive slew of solo albums and EP’s, he has made two albums with ambient guru Steve Roach and worked on album projects with heavyweights such as Grace Jones, Brian Eno, Morcheeba, and, most recently, John Grant on his latest album 'The Art of The Lie'.

"...something of a prodigy... ...Robert Logan is a man that is already showing a maturity and a musical/textural understanding that many never find" [BBC]

"The essential last word in electronic soundscapes." [DJ magazine]

"Fraught and broody... ...Logan is versatile and imaginative." [The Wire] 

"brooding fractured rhythms and dark electronic atmospheres..." *** [Q magazine]

"Robert Logan keeps his creations on a tight leash, though; it’s all choreographed scissor-kicks, controlled texture-bleeding, with a dexterity of sound design beyond the brutalism of the cut-and-shut splice-and-dice merchants of mentalism." [igloo magazine]  

"This is awesome. The last word in studious electronica's re-imagining of Grime and Dubstep. At moments it is preposterously architectured, like a housing estate built by Iannis Xenakis hellbent on fully exploring the possibilities of concrete." [Woebot]

“Cognessence is so rich and varied in its moods, and so thoughtfully and expertly textured, that the results pretty much transcend the requirement for comparisons – the album sits entirely on a ledge of its own." [Barcode]

"There are few signs of innocence in his sophisticated debut, either, with Logan taking on the stylistic might of titans such as Massive Attack and Autechre... ...there seems to be little out of reach for such prodigious, sure-footed talent." [Flavorpill]

"Absolutely outstanding...impossible to quantify" [Mary Anne Hobbs - BBC Radio 1]

"Logan shares a foreboding air akin to Burial but with a restless rhythmic undercurrent that sounds like it’s being
gnawed away by metallic ants." [Metro]

"Robert Logan is another one of those dudes who you'll grow to become envious of over time. Repeated listens to his debut Cognessence stir up a bittersweet mixture of awe and envy. This cat is 19 and he's doing things in his garden shed with distortion and electronics that makes speakers quake in a very different way." [Rock A Rolla]

"With his debut album, Robert Logan had set the bar rather high, but he effortlessly surpasses it with this second effort... ...With Inscape, Logan has delivered one of the strongest records of the year so far." - 4.7/5 [Milk Factory]

"Inscape is a technically impressive piece of work, and a treat for all sets of ears that pine after flamboyant, intricate electronica." [Boomkat]

"Those familiar with Robert Logan’s work will know what a pioneering force he is on the electronic music scene.” [Buzzin Electronic Music]

"Logan’s first album Cognessence was described as “the essential last word in electronic soundscapes” but I would say that Inscape is the essential first word in electronic soundscapes as he’s ripped up the rule book with this one and started again." [Fly Global]

"Logan’s music is strong enough to standout on its own" [Headphone Commute]
