Beth Orton has announced a new album called Kidsticks, the followup to 2012's Sugaring Season. Out May 27 on Anti-, the record was co-produced by Fuck Buttons' Andrew Hung and Orton herself, with David Wrench on the mixing desk. The origins of Kidsticks lie in the electronic loops Orton began working with when she moved to California two years ago. From that she has produced a record apparently inspired by Los Angeles as well as her early work with Andrew Weatherall, William Orbit and Kieran Hebden.
