L.A. darkwave/post-punk Sextile have signed to Sacred Bones, who will release their new album, Push, on September 15. It’s their first album in six years and finds them adding techno and rave elements to their sound. Says the band’s Melissa Scaduto, “We talked about how one of the criteria for these songs is ‘Would I be able to actually dance to it?’ I don’t think we’ve ever set that criteria before. We wanted to have a record that is just full of dance songs.”
The album includes recent single “Crassy Mel,” and Sextile have just shared “New York,” a high energy acid house / techno banger that Scaduto says was “written as a dedication to my former home and birthplace. Cause New Yorkers are really tough, but their love goes crazy.” Watch the video below.
Sextile will be on tour with N8NOFACE this fall, including an NYC show at The Meadows on October 12. All dates are listed below.
