One of the most influential experimental acts of the last couple of decades, Pan Sonic are due to return with a brand new album.

Entitled Oksastus, the record will be released on low-key Ukranian imprint Kvitnu, and follows 2010’s excellent Gravitoni which at the time was rumoured to be the final Pan Sonic album. Mika Vainio has hardly been quiet in the interim, collaborating with a number of artists and dropping a steady series of outstanding solo records, but even so, a new album from Pan Sonic is something to seriously look forward to.

FACT’s Ruaridh Law interviewed Mika Vainio this year and got the lowdown on his favourite frequencies (50 hz) and recent focus on performance.

Okstastus will be released soon on 2LP and CD via Kvitnu. [via Darkfloor]
