Holly Herndon operates at the nexus of technological evolution and musical euphoria.
Listen to new song, ‘Frontier’ now.
It follows previous single ‘Eternal,’ music punctuated by grandiose orchestration and the voices of her Berlin-based vocal ensemble. The video was constructed from footage processed from the perspective of an intelligent machine, analysing and searching for a face, yearning for a connection.
These songs are lifted from her forthcoming third full-length album, PROTO, out 10 May via 4AD. The album isn’t so much about A.I., as it is created in collaboration with an A.I. – her A.I. ‘baby’, Spawn.
