Squarepusher On His New Album Just A Souvenir

"This album started as a daydream about watching a crazy, beautiful rock band play an ultra -gig." Squarepusher

Squarepusher continues to excite and evolve with his 11th album, Just a Souvenir. A career that has spanned over a decade and seen him accumulate a large and devout fan base, Squarepusher is also a musician that elicits praise and respect from the most illustrious quarters. Fans include - The Neptunes who nominated his album Do You Know Squarepusher for the Shortlist prize in 2002 (US equivalent of the Mercury Prize); Thom Yorke, who has publicly lauded him for his innovation and continued boundary pushing musical explorations; Andre 3000, who has publicly asked for a collaboration; Flea from the Chili Peppers claiming he is the 'best bass player on earth!'; Sofia Coppolla, who has repeatedly used Squarepusher's work in her films and Mike Patton, who has booked him to headline his ATP curated weekend in December. Bootsy Collins and Brian Eno have also recently got in touch…

Considered a contemporary composer, two pieces of Squarepusher's work were arranged by the London Sinfonietta for the "Warp Works and Twentieth Century Masters" tour in 2003 and the follow up tour in 2004, and in the latter case, Squarepusher also performed with them. The last album Hello Everything saw him perform on BBC2's Culture Show and for the BBC Electric Proms, alongside the Raconteurs.
