Pre-order - Released 2 May 2025
SACRED BONES
Date of release: May 02 2025
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 duo 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 experience in a New York state-run
facility after a near-fatal accident. "Resist" tackles abortion rights, while "Penny
Rose" explores US education, AI, and future generations. Scaduto's elastic vocals
shine throughout, from the razor-sharp synths of "S is For" to the trance-pop
heights of "Kids," featuring Izzy Glaudini from Automatic.
yes, please. is an action-packed dance record stuffed with wild, heady roof-raisers
but is in the same breath a testament to living, and never looking back. In opening
themselves up to a new "freeing" way of making music, Sextile have whipped up
their most creative offering to date. Then again, you just know they still have so
much more to give.
