Jon Hopkins Announces Asleep Versions EP, Shares New “Form by Firelight” Featuring Braids Singer
Jon Hopkins has announced a new EP. It’s called Asleep Versions, and it’s out November 11 in the U.S. and November 10 everywhere else via Domino. It contains four “decelerated, dreamlike re-imaginings” of songs from his great 2013 album Immunity, including a new version of “Form by Firelight” featuring Raphaelle Standell of Braids/Blue Hawaii and a new version of “Immunity” featuring King Creosote. Update: The new “Form by Firelight” was played on Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 6 Music show this morning. Listen to it here at the 1 hour 41 minute mark.
Domino will also release a limited 2xCD package featuring the new EP and his great 2013 album Immunity. Watch a trailer for the EP below, designed and directed by artist Robert Hunter, incorporating images from his comic The New Ghost.
