Matt Cutler, a.k.a. Lone, has announced the follow up to his 2012 album Galaxy Garden. Reality Testing is out June 17 via R&S. Check out new track "2 Is 8" below.

The LP features previously released tracks "Airglow Fires" and "Begin to Begin". The album art is by Tom Scholefield, a.k.a. Konx-Om-Pax, who also did Galaxy Garden's cover.

Here's what Cutler said about the album in a press release:

I was listening to a lot of Detroit techno and old Chicago house that had the same grain and dirtiness to it as a lot of the hip-hop I was listening to. That was the real spark—I wanted to make an album that had both hip-hop and house beats, but that weren’t completely different from each other, that shared the same sort of vibe. I love the idea of two things sat side by side, but instead of it seeming like they’re complete opposites, [it's more that] those two things could almost be the same thing.
