The Glitch Mob are going back to the heady, sweaty basics of dance music: propulsive sounds that connect artist and audience, however near or far. That’s the timeless mission of their next chapter, CTRL ALT REALITY, their first studio album since 2018’s See Without Eyes.

Of its debut single, “The Flavor,” the dance/electronic veterans say they “emptied the tank for this record. Left it all out on the court.” Listeners wouldn’t expect anything less. And as to be surmised, no gas left in the tank equals plenty of fuel in “The Flavor,” on which The Glitch Mob diverge from their tried-and-tried to embrace a stuttering, breakbeat-oriented style of sound with warehouse ambiance.

The Glitch Mob’s new school is old-school, and it’s formally in session on November 18, when CTRL ALT REALITY hits streaming platforms, courtesy of their independent imprint, Glass Air Records. For now, their fourth full-length project can be pre-saved and pre-ordered here.

this next chapter in our artistry is intended to get back to the music, the movement, the dance, the connection of body & sound. we are here to provide an audio experience you feel deep in your soul. we hope you feel this as much as we do. you are all welcomed and loved
