Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by DJ Miss Ashley, on the air Sundays 12-3 PM PT, is "Blackbox Life Recorder 21f" by Aphex Twin, from the 2023 album Blackbox Life Recorder 21f on Warp.
Today’s Song of the Day marks the first new music from electronic music icon Aphex Twin (aka Richard D. James) in five years. (And it's been nearly ten years since his last album, 2014's Syro.)
His latest EP — titled Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / In a Room7 F760 — is a percussive-heavy delight. with a surprising synth-laden sensitivity. His signature glitchiness is ever-present, but the song also reflects his evolution towards more mellow moments.
