Los Angeles acid house/punk/electronic band Sextile have announce the release of their new studio album “Yes, Please.“
Along with the album announcement, the band have also shared the first single “Freak Eyes”, and it’s accompanying video. The follow-up to their 2023’s record, Push, will be out on May 2 via Sacred Bones Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Sextile reinvent themselves constantly, embracing the thrill of an ever-changing road map. The LA duo of Melissa Scaduto and Brady Keehn craft music with a lust for life, drawing inspiration from no wave to hardstyle. Their new album, yes, please, pushes their sound into bold new territory, fusing anarchic electro fire with raw personal recollections — and enough beefed-up bass to bust a speaker or two.
According to the press release, yes, please. is an album of contrasts: a vulnerable record that bares its soul as much as it revels in excess, showing just how far you can push your sound when you shake off your inhibitions. Together, the pair betray a confidence that never wavers, making a bold splash on the speedy intro with a rave siren cut from a ‘00s New York house party or sweaty Brooklyn warehouse.
By the same token, the spirit of electroclash stalks the building, flashing its ID on the cowbell-peppered thunder-bolts of “Freak Eyes”. The track captures the band’s fearless drive, melding anarchic energy with pulsing bass and unrelenting beats.
Speaking about it, they share:
“Freak Eyes” is about the pressures of making art, living, and aspiring. The sound was inspired by house parties we went to in Brooklyn, where certain tracks had this conversation stopping power, everyone turned into their primal selves and just went ape shit. We wanted to bring that feeling back into the world again.”
Yes, Please is an action-packed dance record stuffed with wild, heady roof-raisers but is in the same breath a testament to living, and never looking back.
