Torontos Scott Hardware will be releasing Engel, his second full-length album, and first on Telephone Explosion Records. It will mark the end of a three-year process of writing, recording and letting down his guard (for better or worse.)His last album, 2016s Mutate, Repeat, Infinity, was the culmination of a years-long obsession with the HIV/AIDS crisis and how it was shaped by capitalism. Hardwares early years after coming out were shaped by the courage of people close to him who were dealing with difficult diagnoses."Looking at these situations from a macro/societal lens must have been the only way I could process and share those years of my life and my loved ones lives with an audience" Hardware recalls. "From a writing and production standpoint, I was trying to re-imagine various eras of dance music and sound as urgent and vital as they would have in their heyday of the 80s and 90s."
