Nicolas Jaar‘s latest album will not be available on CD, nor vinyl or even cassette. Nope! It will be available in the form of an aluminium cube that can sit on the palm of your hand. But there is more to it!
Designed by Jaar, this interactive Prism format release is meant to retain a physicality in music and promote connectivity, with two headphone jacks on either side of the rechargeable cube. Four dedicated buttons allow listeners to start, pause, and skip through tracks, much like the Playbutton format.
The album will be consisting of mostly unreleased tracks that can seen below and is set to be released on Clown & Sunset records. Is this music as a true art form?
