Spektre releases Third Studio Album ‘Against A Dark Background’

Against a Dark Background – the full-length studio album from long-standing British techno duo, Spektre – is out now via Pleasurekraft’s esteemed Kraftek imprint.

Following their critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Casting Shadows Without Light’ in 2010 and their sophomore outing ‘Cyclic Operations’ in 2013. ‘Against a Dark Background’ is the third studio long-player from partners Paul Maddox and Rich Wakley, who have been producing together under the Spektre moniker since 2006.

Talking about the album, Spektre commented: “It had been over 5 years since the release of ‘Cyclic Operations’ when we first started work on the new album in earnest, so we wanted it to be a representation of how our music has evolved in that intervening period. The writing process itself was a lot more reductive than the previous two albums. We holed ourselves up for a few months and hammered out loads and loads of ideas, then filtered and refined the pool through playing them out and getting feedback from a few trusted pairs of ears, until “Against a Dark Background” began to crystallise into its final form.”
