Be-Bop Deluxe and Red Noise founder Bill Nelson has announced that he will release an instrumental guitar album, Studio Cadet, through his own Sonoluxe label on December 6.

The previously unreleased 14-track archival album was recorded by the guitarist back in 2015

“Studio Cadet is one of several previously unreleased albums tucked away in my archives," Nelson reveals. "Recorded in 2015, it contains 14 guitar-based instrumental tracks. The atmosphere is relaxed and sometimes dreamy. A gleaming guitar melodic soundscape."

Studio Cadet will be available as a limited-edition CD with triple-fold digi-sleeve with a four-page booklet insert, and simultaneous digital download.
