Sex Week announce debut album, release title-track
Sex Week’s debut full-length exists and its coming February 12th, 2027.
It’s called Ears as an Organ of Touch, and it’s everything the name implies. An album filled with sounds you can feel, redefining auditory experiences as a form of close bodily contact. How to describe it? Mysterious. Celestial. Sinister. Tactile. Fun. Scary. Sweaty. Patient. Chaotic. Itchy. Soothing. You’ll see/hear next year.
In the meantime, the band marks the album announcement today with the release of the record’s title track. “Ears as an Organ of Touch” is built from a mesmerizing synth arpeggio, clattering drums (metal dinner plate for a snare is the vibe) and a foreboding and frisky energy. The video, directed by the band themselves, bounces between listeners’ ears, captured using a medical inner ear cleaning camera, and a dark performance space bathed in intense light.
While not out until February, the album is available for pre-order now on CD and LP. The first pressing of the 12” comes on “Auditory Ossicles” pink splatter vinyl. The CD comes with a 12-page lyric booklet. Artwork features a sculpture by Lucas Carter, featuring a mini Pearl & Richard inside of a chest cavity. Body horror, but gentle?
