Aiming For Enrike release new song ‘The Rats And The Children’

AIMING FOR ENRIKE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Rats And The Children, is taken from the from the ambient electronic duo’s upcoming new album, Empty Airports, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

The upcoming album was recorded during the strange, silent lockdown months of 2020 and 2021. The most spacious of the band’s work so far released, the upcoming album is also the duo’s longest record, and their first double album.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, Empty Airports is our most minimalistic and ambient record so far. Most of the tracks explore simple and repetitive musical themes over long stretches of time in a warm and electronic sounding landscape. Even though there is always a red line going through our discography, this feels like a pretty big change from our previous record which we basically think of as a dance record. Empty Airports is more of a contemplative, hypnotic and introspective kind of record even though it has some pretty danceable parts.”
