Jon Hopkins released the superb Immunity, his boldest and most dance-focused material yet, earlier this year on Domino Records, and last week, the album’s supreme excellence was recognized via a 2013 Barclaycard Mercury Prize – “An Album of the Year”nomination. This is Jon’s second time being nominated following his collaboration withKing Creosote on 2011’s Diamond Mine. Congratulations, Jon!! The excitement surroundingImmunity and consistent praise keeps on coming! After two visits to New York this spring and summer and shows with Purity Ring in Los Angeles, Jon will return to North America in November for his most extensive tour of the states. This will be a co-headline tour with Warp Records’ artist Clark, who released the Feast / Beast rework album yesterday, with support from Nathan Fake.

What’s been said about Jon Hopkins:
“a remarkably visceral, sensual, confident electronic record that stays absorbing from beginning to end.” — Pitchfork [Best New Music]
“Hopkins retains a gift for tear-jerking melody that takes an expressway to the listener’s emotions. . . in Hopkins’ living, breathing world of sound, beauty and beats are always free to commingle in ways that move, in every sense of the word.” — NPR Music [FIRST LISTEN]
“striking, stirringly beautiful techno numbers. Full-bodied and emotional, without a hint of clinical remove, they’re unlike most of what Mr. Hopkins has done to date.”
— The New York Times
