Google Earth – the new duo made up of John Vanderslice and his frequent collaborator James Riotto – have announced their debut album, Street View, which is due August 5. Check out the new single ‘something complicated’ below, and scroll down for the album’s cover art and tracklist.
“It was a lifelong dream to collab with Jamie,” Vanderslice shared in a statement. “We’ve been incredibly close for 15 years so this feels overdue. It was more meaningful to me than I could have imagined.”
Riotto added: “John and I have been friends and collaborators for a long time now, but this record feels really different because it’s sort of a culmination of years of pushing each other into more abstract electronic palettes. We didn’t set out to make a record together, either. We just met up a couple of times a month to hang and jam and have dinner together. It wasn’t until pretty far into this process that we realized we were making some very interesting music.”
