No more teeth
Life is bleak
Fuck your dollar
Sextile storm the strobes with yes, please. landing this Friday, May 2nd, 2025, via Sacred Bones. The Los Angeles twosome have flirted with club culture before, yet here they pitch headlong into it, sequencers grinding beside saw-tooth synths as kick drums pummel like pile drivers.
Fresh proof arrives today: the premiere of Women Respond To Bass. The cut reels out a rude invitation, all industrial clatter and cheeky couplets. Midway through the opening verse Melissa Scaduto leans forward, tongue half-in-cheek, then the mix erupts, percussion spraying sparks, laser-lead arpeggios ricocheting across the room. Limbs lift, lungs roar.
Director Luna Vonn spliced the clip on the road, pointing cameras at neon Tokyo while Sextile surfed their recent Japanese tour. Subway tunnels flick past, pachinko parlours buzz, fans grin into handheld lenses. Skyscraper glass transforms into a glitching mirror ball, reflecting bodies in perpetual motion, with the famous Shibuya crossing momentarily becoming a dance floor.
Women Respond To Bass nails the record’s thesis in three adrenaline-dosed minutes: movement over malaise, provocation over passivity. yes, please. could well be the pair’s brightest beacon, a siren for pressure-cooker believers and warehouse wanderers alike.
Watch below:
Pre-order links already ignite timelines, promising twelve tracks built for 3 a.m. basements across continents and cramped clubs. You can preview and pre-order yes, please here.
Sextile’s latest offering fuses brute-force bass with basement-born confessionals, a record where anarchic electronics collide with bruised emotion under strobe-lit ceilings. It lurches between sweat-drenched euphoria and raw-nerve vulnerability, flinging personal wreckage into the rave pit with glee and guts. The opening salvo, a siren scream lifted from a forgotten 2000s warehouse, signals no safety here, just stroboscopic chaos and beats fat enough to fracture concrete. Scaduto and Keehn don’t so much perform as provoke, grinning through the wreckage. This is no polished playlist fare; it’s a blistered dancefloor diary. Every track itches with urgency, careening between self-exposure and self-obliteration. Beneath the breakbeats and blown-out basslines is a mantra: live fast, feel everything, never rewind.
