Prolific collaborators Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke are releasing a new album. Pareidolia is out August 29 via Drag City. The album collages together improvised music from the artists’ 2023 tour of Europe. Today, Ishibashi and O’Rourke have shared a snippet of Pareidolia. Check it out below.

The album’s title, as noted in a press release, is defined as “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern; to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness.” Pareidolia follows Ishibashi’s March album, Antigone, and O’Rourke’s 2023 soundtrack album for Hands That Bind. It also follows collaborative works from Ishibashi and O’Rourke, such as Lifetime of a Flower, Okiooishi, and Treatments.
