Mika Vainio will release FE3O4 - Magnetite on September 3rd.
Mika Vainio is a Finnish sound artist perhaps best known for founding Pan Sonic in the 1990s along with partner Ilpo Väisänen. He also has an extensive solo discography, releasing under his own name, Ø, Philus and other aliases, for labels like Editions Mego and UK experimental imprint Touch. It's the latter that will release FE3O4 - Magnetite, Vainio's fifth LP for the label and tenth solo LP overall, following 2011's Life (... It Eats You Up) for Editions Mego. This one was recorded in Berlin (where Vainio currently resides) over the course of the past year, made with his usual array of "radio signals [and] sine wave generators" and featuring long stretches of near-silence punctuated by bursts of noise and abrasive sounds. The album consists entirely of previously unreleased tracks.
