Electronic artist Ela Minus has announced DIA, the follow-up to her 2020 debut, which will be released January 17 via Domino. She produced it herself, working in Colombia, Los Angeles, Seattle, NYC and London while it was mixed by Marta Salogni (FKA twigs, Sampha) and mastered by Heba Kadry.
DIA includes this summer’s terrific single “COMBAT” and she’s just shared “BROKEN,” a swaying, cathartic dance anthem to which she comments, “I started writing this thinking I was perfectly fine and finished writing knowing I was not.” You can watch the video below.
Ela has a few European shows this fall and will open for Caribou on UK/EU dates in February. Check out her tour schedule below.
