Girls In Synthesis announce new album ‘Sublimation’
GIRLS IN SYNTHESIS have announced a new album!
Titled Sublimation, the new album from the London-based experimental post-punks follows 2022’s The Rest Is Distraction and is scheduled to be released in May this year via Own It Music.
The album was recorded in late 2023 at Sick Room Studios in Narborough, Norfolk by Owen Turner. Speaking about the process, guitarist Jim Cubitt explains, “We very much put a lot of importance on the geography and locations of the places we undertake projects. They seem to feed into the work itself. It was completely removed from any other distractions, and the studio was conducive to making music. It wasn’t a sterile environment. Owen really listened and made sure that the quality of the songs and the atmosphere and energy of the music transferred.”
Alongside the announcement of the album, the band have released a music video for its lead single Lights Out.
Speaking about the track, Cubitt adds, “This is a song of two definitive sections. The first half was instinctive. It projects the uneasy feeling of late-night anxiety when you awake from sleep in the dark of the night and your brain jumps from one terrifying thought to another. The lyrics were just a continued representation of that atmosphere of the music, which spilled out on the page. The second half of the song was written collaboratively in the rehearsal room. I wrote the lyrics while walking to rehearsal, put myself in a certain head space and the lyrics appeared instantly, rhythmically matching the marching beat of my walk. John (Linger, bass) then started with the driving bass line, and we fused it together with the powerful almost ‘drum ‘n’ bass’ beat of the drums. For me this song perfectly represents the past and present GIRLS IN SYNTHESIS.”
