- The Canadian producer's first full-length will hit record stores this summer.
Mathew Jonson will release his debut full-length, Agents of Time, this June on Wagon Repair.
The album comes nine years after New Identity, Jonson's debut EP on itiswhatitis. Since then, the Canadian techno artist has released more than twenty records on labels like Minus, Perlon and Wagon Repair, the latter of which he co-founded in 2004 with Konrad Black among others. Jonson has also recorded two albums with the group Cobblestone Jazz, but Agents of Time is his first full-length solo effort.
Though much of the album remains loyal to Jonson's high-energy style of minimal, it also explores deeper, less club-oriented sounds. Tracks like "Love in the Future" focus primarily on atmosphere and melody, while others, like "Night Vision," dabble in tempos below 100 BPM. All of the tracks are previously unreleased, except for "When Love Feels Like Crying," which appeared on the B-side of last year's Walking on the Hands that Follow Me and was remastered for this album. Agents of Time also includes a previously unreleased mix of "Marionette," recorded prior to the 12-inch version that become one of Jonson's biggest singles back in 2005.
