British electronic musician Squarepusher, the project of Tom Jenkinson, has revealed details of his upcoming sixteenth studio album, Kammerkonzert, set for release on April 10 via Warp Records.

Squarepusher, the alias of British producer Tom Jenkinson, has announced his new album, Kammerkonzert, marking his sixteenth studio release. Scheduled for April 10 on Warp Records, it follows his 2024 album Dostrotime and the previous year's archival collection Stereotype.
The lead single, 'K2 Central,' previews the album's sound, which incorporates orchestral themes alongside progressive, ambient, electronic, and experimental elements. Jenkinson composed the tracks using live drums, electric bass, guitar, and instruments from a sound library. Originally, he planned to collaborate with classically trained musicians after composing for an orchestra in 2016, but an injury disrupted those efforts, leading him to perform the orchestral arrangements live by himself.
'Kammerkonzert' translates to 'chamber concert' in German, reflecting its compositional style. The album features 14 tracks:
- K1 Advance
- K2 Central
- K3 Diligence
- K4 Fairlands
- K5 Fremantle
- K6 Headquarters
- K7 Museum
- K8 Park
- K9 Reliance
- K10 Terminus
- K11 Tideway
- K12 Uplands
- K13 Vigilant
- K14 Welbeck
A music video for 'K2 Central,' directed by Jo Apps, accompanies the single's release. This project underscores Jenkinson's three-decade career as an innovative bass and electronic artist.
