The Comet Is Coming – the London-based jazz rave trio composed of Danalogue (Dan Leavers), Shabaka (Shabaka Hutchings), and Betamax (Max Hallett) — have announced their next album, Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, with the new single ‘CODE’. The follow-up to 2019’s The Afterlife will drop on September 23 via Impulse! Records. Check out a visual for ‘CODE’ below, along with the album cover and the group’s upcoming tour dates.
Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studio, with assistance from The Comet Is Coming’s longtime engineer Kristian Craig. After the four-day long recording process, Danalogue and Betamax sampled, distilled, and arranged the material into a “musical message about the future of technology, humankind, spirituality, and the connectivity of the universe,” per a press release.
