Aphex Twins, after a 9+ year musical hiatus, just gave us all a glimpse into his upcoming album "Syro" with one of its tracks called "minipops 67", check it out:
It honestly took me a few listens to warm up to the track, but once I got into it, I loved it. This is not your typical danceable track, but sometimes it's good to feature tracks from the IDM world as well.
"Syro" is ready for release on September 23rd.
