Longtime collaborators Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke have announced a new album, Pareidolia, which is set for release on August 29 via Drag City. The record weaves together music improvised on the musicians’ 2023 tour of Europe, and you can hear a wondrous snippet of it below.
According to a press release, the album’s titular word is defined as “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern; to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness.” Earlier this year, Ishibashi released her latest album Antigone, which featured O’Rourke as part of her band.
