Listen to Perturbator’s new single: “A little moment of respite in an otherwise mostly aggressive album”

After dropping lead single Apocalypse Now in June, Perturbator has just shared another new song from his upcoming album Age Of Aquarius.

Today, the musician – real name James Kent – unveils The Swimming Pool, which he calls “a little moment of respite in an otherwise mostly aggressive album”, and explains that it’s “simple, minimalist and intimate. Inspired by a dream I had years ago in which I found myself stuck in a huge hotel, searching ever so unsuccessfully for the swimming pool.”

Age Of Aquarius is due out on October 10 via Nuclear Blast.

Listen to The Swimming Pool below:
