We here at Flying Out are only ever really killing time until the next Jon Hopkins release is announced, so imagine our fizzing little minds when we heard about RITUAL, a brand new 41-minute "electronic symphony" from the maestro. Described by his label Domino as "devotional, empowering, and nurturing", this sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered; mind-bending and heart rending music for trying times. A welcome return from an electronic empath with melodies, beats, and brains to spare. - Flying Out
By turns devotional, empowering and nurturing, Jon Hopkins’ forthcoming RITUAL is a 41-minute electronic symphony built from cavernous subs, hypnotic drumming and transcendent melodic interplay. Tense, immersive and ultimately triumphant, it is a culmination of themes explored throughout his 22-year career, and acts as the kinetic counterpart to 2021’s Music For Psychedelic Therapy.
