The record comes just two weeks after Fred Again.., Skrillex and Four Tet stepped up on short notice to close out Coachella Weekend 2 after original headliner Frank Ocean pulled out due to injury.
Fred Again.. Skrillex and Four Tet played the closing slot after Blink-182, who were bumped up to the headlining slot in replacement of Frank Ocean.
Fred Again.. most recently released the single ‘Baby Again’ in mid March with Skrillex and Four Tet, while Brian Eno last released his latest album ‘FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE’ in October last year.
Eno’s ‘FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE’ received a three-star review from NME‘s Patrick Clarke, who wrote: “‘FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE’ is never quite an album that is completely comforting or despairing. Instead, it explores the vast reaches between the two and uses introspection as a means of finding stability in the chaos. It offers no conclusions or solutions for humanity’s vast existential threats, but it does set a groundwork from which we might make a start in tackling them.”
