Nathan Fake resurfaces with new album Evaporator featuring Clark

Music

The evergreen electronic luminary returns with his seventh album; a radiant work of “daytime music” encompassing ambient, rave, trance, garage and more, featuring Clark & Dextro AKA Ewan Mackenzie (Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs).

Nathan Fake has been in the game for twenty years now, and James Holden’s remix of his track ‘The Sky Was Pink‘ remains an eternal modern classic. With his seventh album ‘Evaporator‘, his output remains as revelatory as ever, a record described as an elemental distillation of “daytime music“.

Fake elaborates: “It’s not overtly confrontational electronic club music…It’s quite pleasant, it’s accessible. As I was progressing through making the tracklist, I called it a daytime album. It doesn’t feel like an afterparty album.”

Fake enlists Clark for a collaboration on the track ‘Orbiting Meadows‘ and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs drummer Dextro AKA Ewan Mackenzie on the track ‘Baltasound‘. Maintaining his use of vintage tools and tried-and-tested software, particularly Cubase VST5, ‘Evaporator‘ represents an invigorating return for Fake.

The rollout of the album also finds him in a reflective mood, sharing insightful sentiments about anonymity, the changing nature of electronic music, and finding his own place in this shifting landscape:

“It makes me realise how long; twenty years is ages! It’s weird to see how much the world has changed. Release day back then you did f**k all, now you spend all day on socials. When I grew up the people who made the electronic music I was into were quite mysterious, and the artwork was very abstract. There was a massive distance between you and that music, and that was a key part of it, really. Now it helps to be an extrovert, and I’m just not, but the album marks the first time my face has graced the cover art. I’ve never wanted to do this before, I’m very shy, and generally I don’t like being seen…But, twenty years in, I supposed I could try something new. I’m very lucky that I’m somehow surviving in this world, where the media world favours extroverts and interesting looking people. It’s not my world but somehow I’m still in it.”

‘Evaporator‘ is out 20th February on InFiné, led by the single ‘Bialystok‘. Fake will also play a run of live dates over the next few months. Have a listen and see where he’s playing below.
