Anti-Pop Consortium

State: You split up for a full five years before the reformation in 2007. What’s changed about APC since 2002?

APC’s Beans: We get along now famously. The time spent apart has allowed us to grow individually and bring our experiences to the table artistically to become stronger as a unit. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. There are few groups now in hip-hop. As such, we’re back to take our place again.

After their reformation last year, Anti-Pop Consortium has been hard at work crafting the follow-up to 2002’s Arrhythmia (which came out on the recently-in-the-news Warp label). The new record, Fluorescent Black, is set to come out October 6th on Big Dada (home of Mercury Prize winner Speech Debelle). You can listen to a mega-mix of tracks from the album and song “Born Electric,” as well as the Four Tet remix of the album’s first single, “Volcano”, above.

Anti-Pop Consortium is on the bill on ATP NY this weekend. They’ll be hosting their release show for the new record on September 29th at Santos Party House. Tickets are on sale.

Past that, the group tours the US and Europe through the fall. All dates and the new album art are below…
