Previously unreleased Aphex Twin track ‘th1 [evnslower]’ lands on Warp Records

A previously unreleased track from Aphex Twin titled ‘th1 [evnslower]’ has landed on Warp Records, available to stream for the first time.

It marks the second release from an expanded edition of ‘Selected Ambient Works II’, which is set for reissue next month in celebration of its 30th anniversary.

The track traverses eerie, ambient soundscapes over the course of 11 minutes, a hauntingly stripped-back piece with a familiar feel to other tracks on ‘Selected Ambient Works II’. Check it out below.
