In a press statement, Soulwax described All Systems Are Lying as “a rock album made without any electric guitars.” The duo continued, “We wanted to capture the feeling of a band playing electronic instruments—live, loud and loose. This record is the result of that experiment”

Soulwax, the Belgian electronic music duo of brothers David and Stephen Dewaele, have announced their first album in seven years. All Systems Are Lying is out October 17 (via Deewee/Because Music). Leading the follow-up to 2018’s Essential are two new songs: the record’s title track and “Run Free.” Listen to both below.

I just stumbled upon Soulwax’s new singles and… where have I been all these years? The way they blend raw, live energy with electronic production is mind-blowing. A ‘rock album without electric guitars’? That’s the kind of creative risk I respect. And knowing they’re behind Deewee (home of Charlotte Adigéry, Bolis Pupul—love them!) makes total sense. This is the refreshing, boundary-pushing sound I’ve been craving.
