Some bands find their groove and stick to it; others reinvent themselves constantly. Sextile belongs to the latter camp, embracing the thrill of an ever-changing road map. The LA d uo of Melissa Scaduto and Brady Keehn craft music with a lust for life, drawing inspiration from no wave to hardstyle. Their latest 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. 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 thunderbolts of 'Freak Eyes' and 'Rearrange', and turning in a scuzzy dancefloor bomb with 'Women Respond to Bass'. High on endorphins, 'Push Ups'-which features vocals from Jehnny Beth-is pure muscle music, fortified by hoover bass and fleshed out by synths that hammer as hard as lumps of hail on a glass roof. But behind the slogans, sass, and monster dance energy lies an intimacy that can only be found from opening up about painful, life-altering events. 'Hospital' and 'Soggy Newports' reflect Scaduto's harrowing experiTracks1~1~Intro (1:02)1~2~Women Respond To Bass (2:46)1~3~Freak Eyes (2:39)1~4~Penny Rose (2:16)1~5~Push Ups (2:31)1~6~Kids (3:55)1~7~Bongos (3:38)1~8~S Is For (2:43)1~9~Rearrange (2:53)1~10~Resist (3:09)1~11~Kiss (3:46)1~12~Hospital (2:34)1~13~Soggy Newports (3:13)DetailsCatalogue Number: SBR357CDFormat: CDArtist: SextileRelease Date: 02 May 2025Genre: AlternativeLabel: SACRED BONESDistributor: Rocket Group Show more
