Scaler have released a new single, Evolve.
The sparse, haunting electronica track features melodic vocals from multidisciplinary artist Tlya X An, and follows the announcement of the Bristol four-piece's new album, 'Endlessly', due out on September 26 via their hometown's tastemaker label Black Acre. They said:
"This song came to life in January 2024 - The strange bells in the chorus were the first element that set the scene, they created the perfect backdrop that inspired the rest of the song. Talia's amazing melodic choices make the song a standout moment on the record - the harmonies and backing vocals throughout the track envelop you further into the swathes of emotion.
"Throughout the creation of this song we were trying to keep the arrangement relatively simple and stripped back - I (James Rushforth), was trying to encourage everyone to sit back a little and rely on songwriting more than sonic warfare, a practice we’re not particularly well versed in. We had worked up the lyrics in the verse, evoking confusion and searching for stasis - we had visualised an expansive abandoned cityscape being flooded, a sense of no future or past. It felt like a mental state."
Tlya X An added: "I had the melody for the chorus written for one of my own songs, but I was struggling to finish the song. Now I think it’s because it was always meant for Evolve. The chorus - "Only one I know who can see more colours" is about my dad, as he is the most positive person I know, always seeing the best in people."
Alongside Jerusalem-born, Bristol-based Tlya X An, the follow-up to 2022's 'Void' also features guest spots from Akiko Haruna, who was on their recent single Salt, plus Art School Girlfriend, Shadow Stevie, Cold Light's ELDON, and "techno wizard" Thomas Ridley.
It'll also include the band's single Broken Entry, which arrived back in April, marking their first new music since 2023.
After wrapping up their European tour with And So I Watch You From Afar and Robocobra Quartet, the band will embark on a headline UK tour in November, with more European dates following between November 30 and December 8. The UK run also includes an appearance at Mutations Festival in Brighton. Head here for details. Tickets are on sale now.
