Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe have announced two collaborative albums, Luminal and Lateral, which will be released on June 6 via Verve. One track from each record, Luminal‘s spectral, pop-leaning ‘Suddenly’ and Lateral‘s ambient piece ‘Big Empty Country (Edit)’, is out today. Take a listen below.

Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe met in 2022, when they both gave an SXSW talk about art and climate change, and reconnected while displaying art pieces in London. “Music is about making feelings happen. Some of those feelings are familiar, while others may not be – or may be complex mixtures of several different feelings,” the pair wrote in a press release. “There are many beautiful words for such feelings in other languages and cultures – words that don’t exist in English. By giving a feeling a name, we make that feeling more likely to be felt, more tangible. Art is able to trigger feelings, or feeling mixtures, that we’ve never quite felt before. In this way, a piece of Art can become the ‘mother’ for a type of feeling, and a place you can go to find and re-experience that feeling.”
