After whetting critical whistles across the globe on record, Montreal electro-smith Tim Hecker has revealed a Camp & Furnace slot on November 19 as part of a forthcoming European tour.

“Hecker rules, frankly. Come back soon,” concludes that review, and the upcoming date is sure to send those festival veterans salivating with wishes fulfilled.
The ambient artist released his latest album Virgins last year, his seventh LP under his own name, and garnered rave reviews across the board, including spots on the 2013 highlights list of By The Sea‘s Daniel O’Connell and promoters Samidzat, writing for Getintothis‘ end of year Guestlist Selections.
The record joins quite the discography, with near-constant acclaim having rained for the artist since his early days as Setone, with Hecker never failing to affirm his mind-blowing sonic credentials.
This upcoming date is, given Hecker‘s considerable reputation, set to be an extraordinary one. A chance to catch one of the world’s most celebrated electronic artists at the peak of his breathtaking powers.
