UPDATE [January 12, 9:15 AM]: The album release has been pushed back to February 3, 2017.

Toronto producer David Psutka, aka Egyptrixx, shared details of his forthcoming album today, Pure, Beyond Reproach, due out January 13, 2017 on his own Halocline Trance label.

Pure, Beyond Reproach is Psutka's fourth LP under the Egyptrixx moniker, a project he describes as "celestial club music." His last Egyptrixx album, Transfer of Energy [Feelings of Power] came out last year, though since then he's released his Sign of the Cross Every Mile to the Border LP as Ceramic TL, a Sallows full-length as part of Toronto-based band ANAMAI, and a collaborative EP with L-Vis 1990 as Limit.

A press release describes Pure, Beyond Reproach as "Jeep music for a Saturn moon," adding, "This record suggests a parallel between the total impact of human tendency towards absolute loyalty and an imagined, sub-threshold percussion of collisions among all the oceanic micro-plastics… The aesthetic is pacific litter clank; chill torrents and artificial triumphalism… actual glow."

Alongside the news, Psutka has shared the album's opening track, "Lake of Contemplation, Pool of Fundamental Bond," which boldly contrasts the soothing sounds of running water and serene synths against looping metallic clangs in a display that's jarring, yet oddly meditative. Listen to it below.
