The Belfast electronic duo, made up of Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar, launched their new CHROMA project earlier this year. It’s set to combine a series of curated events, a record label, an ever-evolving Bicep AV/DJ show – all with a unique new visual identity created alongside David Rudnick.
The most recent offering is tinged with a distinct UK flavour, written with pulsating dancefloors in mind. ‘ROLA’ served as a mission statement when the pair opened London’s Drumsheds venue with it at the 2023 CHROMA takeover in 2023.
On the track, Bicep said: “We wanted something dark and heavy to play as our first tune, as a stark departure from the Live show. It’s exactly what we’re wanting to achieve with CHROMA, a track written for the dancefloor with a specific idea in mind.”
They continued: “It’s a chance for us to stretch our legs outside a traditional album cycle and focus purely on music for us DJing,” they said in a press release. “It feels really refreshing for us to write music and play it out that same week. It’s been really fun for us to let people hear a bit of a tougher sound from us.”
The track recently debuted at Coachella, with fans clambering to hear the full cut. The release of the latest single comes as Bicep prepare for a double-slot at this years Glastonbury.
They headlined the IICON stage on Thursday night (June 27) with their ‘Bicep presents CHROMA’ AV/DJ show, as well as performing a under alias DOVE on the Levels stage.
Meanwhile, here are the worst clashes to expect this year, as well as the latest weather forecasts for Glastonbury 2024.
