Underworld’s Karl Hyde is going solo and debuting his first record Edgeland on April 22, 2013.

Co-produced by Leo Abrahams, Edgeland encompasses several themes. Hyde says in his description of the album:

“The beauty of decay, tyre marks, crude graffiti, industrial noise, overheard conversations, epidemics of coffee bars and nights on the back seat being driven through cities by drivers who never sleep. A celebration of people’s idiosyncrasies, mapping out my journeys with the stories they tell, edgelands where city meets scrub, where ragged ponies grazed annexed fields and the air smells chemical.”

Until the album comes out, take a look at the preview for one of the tracks on Hyde’s record: “Cut Clouds.”
