On June 7th, Nate Brenner, the force behind Naytronix (of Tune-Yards), will release his third studio album, Air, on BotCave Records. The album is an electro psych-pop collection that is both warm and heavy, relaxing yet challenging. Its booming, dense, aggressive sound is juxtaposed against Brenner’s gentle voice.
The album, co-produced by Merrill Garbus and Ross Peacock, mixed by Jonas Verwijnen at Berlin’s Kaiku Studios, then zipped over to NYC for mixing by Sarah Register, comes after a busy few years for Brenner.
