Producer Hifi Sean’s latest album, FT, will feature collaborations with Bootsy Collins, Yoko Ono, and the B-52s’ Fred Schneider, among many others. One such collaborator includes the recently-departed Alan Vega of protopunk and synth band Suicide.
In a statement to Pitchfork, the producer said, “I’d initially spoken with Alan about working on a track and explained that I wanted to make something majestic that started in his zone of electronica and slowly mutated into a psychotic film soundtrack as a closing chapter to the album. It’s been a tremendous personal honour to have had the opportunity to work with Alan on this collaboration. My heart is really with his wife Liz and his son Dante at the moment.”
