Brian Eno and fellow artist and composer Beatie Wofle have announced two collaborative albums.

Recorded by the pair throughout 2024, 'Luminal' and 'Lateral' will arrive together through Verve Records on June 6.

The two-album project comes after the artists' first meeting during a SXSW featured talk on Art and Climate. The pair met again while showcasing their visual and conceptual art pieces at separate galleries in London. They said:

"Music is about making feelings happen. Some of those feelings are familiar, while others may not be – or may be complex mixtures of several different feelings. There are many beautiful words for such feelings in other languages and cultures - words that don’t exist in English. By giving a feeling a name, we make that feeling more likely to be felt, more tangible. Art is able to trigger feelings, or feeling mixtures, that we’ve never quite felt before. In this way, a piece of Art can become the ‘mother’ for a type of feeling, and a place you can go to find and re-experience that feeling. Some of the feelings we found ourselves working with were these..."
