Sextile embraces high-voltage chaos on ‘Freak Eyes’
Los Angeles duo Sextile has unleashed ‘Freak Eyes,’ the latest single from their upcoming album yes, please., set to drop May 2, 2025, via Sacred Bones.
Known for their fusion of electronic punk and trance-pop grit, Sextile pushes their dark, pulsing sound to new heights with their latest single ‘Freak Eyes.’ The track bursts open with a snarling bassline, instantly setting a menacing tone before transitioning into a pounding techno rhythm. Brady Keehn’s vocal delivery is both urgent and hypnotic as he chant-sings, “I feel the pressure / Man the pressure I feel when we’re together.”
On the track, Keehn explains:
“‘Freak Eyes’ is about the pressures of making art, living, and aspiring. The sound was inspired by house parties we went to in NY, where certain tracks had the conversation stopping power. If you were in the middle of convo with a friend and heard certain songs, it didn’t matter what you were talking about, you stopped and joined the party in the collective release of emotion, singing, dancing, and drinks flying everywhere. It was like in that moment, nothing else mattered but that energy that we all collectively felt. And I felt like I hadn’t seen that at a party, or anywhere in a while, and wanted to try to bring that feeling back into the world again.”
‘Freak Eyes’ is out now.
