Lanark Artefax from Glasgow has announced his newest record in over four years entitled ‘Metallur’ set to release this April under ADD 93. The record features five tracks, with the lead single being ‘Metallur’ which has been released to all platforms. Artefax’s last release was a three-track EP called ‘Corra Linn’ in 2019.

The Glaswegian producer is set to perform a headline show at London’s ICA in May, followed by a performance at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound at the end of the month.
The newest record ‘Metallur’ will be available for limited release vinyl with an embossed cover and printed inner, as well as digitally.
