Los Angeles duo Sextile – celebrated for an unflinching, electronic punk sound injected with trance-pop grit – announce their bold upcoming album, yes, please. (Sacred Bones) out May 2, 2025.

Much of yes, please. is being performed on a current North American run of dates supporting Molchat Doma into March. Sextile has also shared the single “Freak Eyes,” which pushes their dark, pulsing signature sound to new heights. It opens with a nasty bass growl, which abruptly gives way to a techno beat peppered with clanging cowbell and sharp hi-hat. “I feel the pressure / Man the pressure I feel when we’re together,” vocalist Brady Keehn cooly, albeit firmly yell-sings in the opening lines. Inspired by the ways in which pressure can provoke challenges and improvement alike, “Freak Eyes” conjures electrifying images of seedy Sunset Strip backrooms and leather-clad warehouse dance floors.

On the track, Brady Keehn of Sextile shares: “”Freak Eyes” is aboutthe 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.”

On the video, director Alfredo Lopez shares: “A few months ago I heard an early version of the album at Brady’s place, I was floored. We mentioned maybe collaborating on something back then and that’s how the concept began. Fast forward to December and our schedules almost didn’t align to make the video for “Freak Eyes,” we fast-tracked production and shot the video a day before I flew to Paris, shortly after that the band was heading on tour until March. Everything thankfully came together and we decided to shoot this video with vintage lenses, subconsciously I was pulling from Darius Khondji’s late 90’s-early 2000’s shooting style when narrowing down the look. Most of the post-production for the music video was done in Paris and by the time I came back to LA we almost had picture lock. During the editing process I was repeatedly listening to the new album while walking the Paris streets and taking the Metro, I really connected to it on these extended walks and I genuinely feel it’s their best work.”
