Label Description: Manchester, UK native Tom Collingburn, who records as Unruly Disturbance, has put together a varied and emotional record entitled ‘Frisson’ designed to elicit this very effect. From sweeping ambient work, dripping with gorgeous sound design to beat-driven workouts, the album delivers this physical response to music in spades.

Featuring a few tunes with poetry recitations by featured artist Mat Riches, these pieces act as an anchor on an otherwise instrumental recording that explores different facets of mood, texture, melody, groove, and the human psyche itself. Rife with a mix of analog drift paired with precise programming and sequencing, meticulous around-the-house sampling, and stellar live-take performances, this seasoned electronic music veteran has returned to the fray after a long hiatus…and the wait was worthwhile. Certainly one not to be missed…a treat for the ear-bones.

The album releases 6/12/2026. Anyone who preorders this album will also receive free codes to two of Tom’s previous Unruly Disturbance albums, ‘Music for Scenes,’ and ‘Melodic Drone.’
