October Releases

Tyler, The Creator – CHROMAKOPIA

A dense, cinematic entry among October Releases that reworks his earlier styles into something more reflective. CHROMAKOPIA balances funk, orchestral grandeur, and raw introspection, showing Tyler’s evolution from self-styled provocateur to mature studio auteur. Each track feels sculpted, unpredictable, and unapologetically his.

Keiyaa – Hooke’s Law

Part of the current wave of October Releases, Hooke’s Law expands Keiyaa's hybrid sound, fusing gospel-tinged vocals, deep bass, and digital production into a record that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s a continuation of her ongoing project: reshaping soul music through modern production technology, and self-possession.

Sudan Archives – The BPM

The BPM pushes Sudan Archives further into club rhythm and sound collage. Blending live strings with R&B structure and experimental beatwork, the album captures her restless hybrid style, a singular fusion of high-energy dance and avant-pop clarity. Definetely one of the most kinetic October Releases

Blawan - Sickelixir

Blawan’s first album for XL Recordings arrives as part of this month’s October Releases, an album that pushes his dense, percussive style into new shapes — half machine, half emotional release. Harsh textures meet surprisingly melodic passages, revealing the producer’s ability to balance intensity with restraint.

Daniel Avery – Tremor

Tremor continues Avery’s blend of ambient and techno structures — widescreen, melancholic, and physical. The album feels like a late-night transmission from another place, where euphoria and introspection meet under a single pulse.

Soulwax – All Systems Are Lying 

The Dewaele brothers return with All Systems Are Lying, a record that folds live instrumentation into modular electronics. Equal parts groove and distortion, it captures Soulwax’s knack for transforming club rhythm into rock structure. Another great addition to this month's October Releases.

Sofia Isella – I’m Camera

I’m Camera is a sharp, self-aware debut that uses sound as documentation; cold synths, clipped vocals, and pop as process. Isella blurs the line between artist and observer, making her music feel like installation work in motion.

Bar Italia – Some Like It Hot 

Among the season’s October Releases, Some Like It Hot pares their sound back even further — dry guitars, half-spoken hooks, and songs that end before they resolve. It’s brief, detached, and addictive: post-punk turned into sketch art.  

Dean Blunt & Elias Rønnenfelt – Lucre

Lucre finds Dean Blunt and Elias Rønnenfelt exploring sparse instrumentation and blurred narrative; half croon, half spoken word. It’s an album that feels haunted by both artists’ aesthetics: empty space, texture, and tension.

Florence + The Machine – Everybody

 Scream

Florence Welch channels her maximalism into Everybody Scream, an album that feels both gothic and exuberant. Big arrangements, sharp percussion, and layered vocals create a record that sits between art-pop and cinematic drama, a great album that makes its way to this month's October Releases.

On Vlijmscherp, Eefje de Visser sharpens her signature blend of electronic pop and layered vocal harmony. The album trades overt hooks for fluid production and subtle rhythmic motion, using texture and phrasing as its emotional core. 

Also as part of this month's October releases, From the Pyre builds on the London group’s dramatic, orchestral debut with a heavier, sharper edge. It’s glam, baroque, and knowingly over-the-top; a modern update of theatrical rock written for the streaming era but rooted in tradition.
