A month after returning<\/a> with a Y\u014dsui Inoue cover and news of a new label deal, Cornelius<\/a> has announced his Eat Your Own Ears<\/a> debut, Refractions<\/em>. The Japanese composer and songwriter recruited guests including his Bad Advice\/Mind Train<\/em><\/a> collaborator Arto Lindsay<\/a>, former Yura Yura Teikoku guitarist Shintaro Sakamoto<\/a>, Bid from the British punk band the Monochrome Set, and Sean Ono Lennon<\/a>. Listen to the Lennon-featured \u201cAeons\u201d below and scroll down to see Cornelius\u2019\u00a0tour dates in Japan and London. The album arrives on August 19.<\/p>\n Ono Lennon has history with Cornelius, having invited him to join an iteration of his mother\u2019s Plastic Ono Band in years past. Cornelius said of the new collaboration, \u201cAs the world and my surroundings changed at an intense speed, I think all of that inevitably shaped this work. Rather than expressing these ideas directly, I approached them structurally\u2014exploring continuity, transformation, and multiple coexisting states within a single, uninterrupted flow of time.\u201d<\/p>\n Ono Lennon added, \u201cI\u2019m always honoured to work with Keigo, he\u2019s one of my favourite humans on the Earth Planet!\u201d<\/p>\n Refractions<\/em>: Cornelius:
