Anthony Naples Set To Release New LP on Four Tet's Text Records
House | Thursday 4th December 2014 | lenjibong
New York artist Anthony Naples is set to release his debut album - Body Pill on February 17th on Four Tet’s Text Records. Fourtet has long been an admirer of Anthony Naples and even commissioned the artist to remix his track “128 Harps” back in 2012. Naples has gone from strength to strength appearing on labels like Mister Saturday Night Records where he released his breakthrough track 'Mad Disrespect' and later The Trilogy Tapes, where he proved his diversity as an artist. In the same ilk, we can expect Naples to delve into similar sonic explorations within this album.
Naples says the Body Pill’s title came from a bizarre translation he saw on a Japanese vending machine saying: “When I ran the title past Kieran [Hebden, AKA Four Tet], and he said it sounded like a lost rave classic, but I thought in the end it makes [sic] sense. The LP is a small dose of synthetic noises and rhythms.” New York is a key inspiration behind the sounds of this EP, where he exclaims: “I wanted to make a streetwise record that was also solid and simple, like a brick or those weird fluorescent light tubes in the subway. They give off this weird hum that you hear only when you're alone in the station between trains late at night. I wanted to make a record that evoked that experience."
