Release Date: May 1 2026 The legendary Slovenian group’s first original studio album since 2014’s Spectre, Musick - intensely pop, yet intensely Laibach. Available via Mute on limi ted edition neon pink vinyl and CD. This record simultaneously celebrates and critiques the current era of warped reality and AI imitation. The title reflects a duality: an oversaturation, being “sick of music” in an age where over 100,000 new tracks, many AI-generated, are uploaded daily, making us question reality; and a “pathological devotion” that continues to drive the band. The maximalist creation process in their Ljubljana studio involved analogue synths, toys, computers with sound apps, and collaborators like Donna Marina Mårtensson and Richard X. They drew influences from K-pop, J-pop, and ‘90s Eurodance, yet maintained that their “primary influence and reference point remained Laibach itself.” Show more
