Sextile join the Sacred Bones family and announce details of forthcoming new album PUSH, set for release on September 15. They have also shared a first track and video, ‘New York’.
Since emerging in 2015, Sextile have been a party-provoking force on the LA underground, capable of kicking up a riot with the raw-edged squall of a synth or the sharp-elbowed jerk of a guitar. Now they return refreshed, renewed, and ready to rage with a serotonin-boosting new album, a new group dynamic, faster BPMs, and an even wilder new direction. Recorded in Yucca Valley, PUSH bounces and bops at the fringes of hardcore dance music, with the hallmarks of drum & bass, gabber and trance illuminating the record like glowsticks at a ‘90s Fantazia rave.
They start the party with ‘New York’ and they go hard. “We’re tough out here but the love goes crazy,” singer Mel Scaduto repeats, paying homage to the warm steeliness of her birthplace. The accompanying video, directed by Jim Larson, sees them take the party to the streets during the 4th of July celebrations, bouncing around the neon-drenched backdrops of Big Apple landmarks with joyful abandon. “It was written as a dedication to my former home and birthplace” Scaduto comments. “‘Cause New Yorkers are really tough, but their love goes crazy”.
