About this album
PHASE 130: String Evolutions is a 21-song album from NEXT, released in 2026. It's orchestral and electronic, built on strings, percussion and piano. The songs run 55 to 170 BPM, in keys like Dm, Cm and Em, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for crime and true crime. Most songs come with an instrumental, stems (percussion, pulses and strings) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
