Sextile drops new single 'Kids' from upcoming album • GRIMM Gent

Sextile dropped a new look at their electrifying forthcoming album, ‘yes, please.’, out May 2, 2025 on Sacred Bones. Trance-pop gem “Kids” ripples and races as Melissa Scaduto reaches giddy new heights with her voice, building castles in the sky over a soaring chorus that also features Izzy Glaudini from LA trio Automatic. The accompanying video was directed by Boy Harsher’s Augustus Muller, who comments:

“This track MOVES. I wanted to design something that could match the energy. On set we kept asking “how do we make this faster?”

Scaduto comments:

“The song is about being a teenager where you start to figure out who you are and feel misunderstood by your family but the feeling you get of finding your people and music for the first time that is yours. Similar to myself feeling depressed at that age then sneaking out and going to raves and shows and realizing I was gonna be alive elsewhere and the future looked hopeful rather than bleak.”

Some bands find their groove and stick to it while others choose to reinvent themselves and keep on moving. Sextile can attest to the thrill of an ever-changing road map. The LA duo comprising Melissa Scaduto and Brady Keehn ply their trade with a lust for life and a love of everything from no wave to hardstyle, having merged some of these influences on their striking 2023 debut for Sacred Bones, ‘Push‘.

The group’s new LP, ‘yes, please.’, fuses anarchic electro fire with raw personal recollections —and enough beefed-up bass to bust a speaker or two. yes, please. is an album of contrasts: a vulnerable record that bares its soul as much as it revels in excess, showing just how far you can push your sound when you shake off your inhibitions. Together, the pair betray a confidence that never wavers, making a bold splash on the speedy intro with a rave siren cut from a ‘00s New York house party. yes, please. is an action-packed dance record stuffed with wild, heady roof-raisers but is in the same breath a testament to living, and never looking back.
