John Talabot Announces New OR Album Music For Empty Stadiums: Hear “Nokik Messiah”

Like many in his field, the Catalan electronic musician John Talabot tends to release songs in small bursts, in the form of singles and EPs. He only has two full-lengths to his name, 2012's ƒIN and 2017's The Night Land, released under the name Talaboman. Since then, a strange silence has indeed set in, with no new releases besides a pair of Talaboman singles in 2023. This fall, he'll make his grand return, and he's doing it in longform.Talabot is launching his new project OR with Music For Empty Stadiums, a new album coming next month. It will be the 100th release on AD 93. The OR moniker is simply his initials; John Talabot is a stage name for Oriol Riverola. Music For Empty Stadiums is his attempt to develop "the most euphoric possible variant of ambient," a concept that makes perfect sense when you hear the pulsing, flickering, shapeless lead single "Nokik Messiah."
