Voxtrot will launch a brand new album—their first in 18 years—on February 27, 2026. Launched on their very own Cult Hero label, the Austin, Texas, indie-rockers’ Dreamers in Exile is the long-overdue follow-up to their sole album so far, 2007’s self-titled, which adopted a string of acclaimed singles and EPs within the mid-2000s. The band will tour behind the file subsequent yr. Take a look at the dates beneath, together with a brand new track, “Combating Again,” which follows the 2023 comeback single “Another Fire” and comes with an Annie Gunn–directed video.
Voxtrot determined to make the brand new file on the final evening of their 2023 reunion tour, a press launch notes. They self-recorded the LP at bassist Jason Chronis’ Haunted Air Studio in Lockhart, Texas. The band’s Ramesh Srivastava stated in a press launch, “‘Combating Again’ echoes the catchy propulsiveness of early Voxtrot, however my favourite component is the cornucopia of synths peppered all through. Jason and I borrowed a Juno and went to city! I really like the darkish ’80s environment, and every time I hear it, I image the crimson-lit bar scenes in American Gigolo, which have been filmed on the Beverly Hills Lodge… the place I distinctly bear in mind the doorman shouting that I had 10 minutes to make my supply earlier than he was gonna tow my automotive.”
Gunn added of the video, “I’ve been collaborating with the band for the reason that early 2000s on stills for album art work. The visuals I’ve made for the band have all the time been within the analog black-and-white world so it felt becoming that the video for ‘Combating Again’ even be shot on movie. I needed to carry among the grainy, textural, imperfect nature of the stills we’ve completed into movement. Peter Simonite as cinematographer introduced his Sixties Tremendous 8 digicam, and we shot on totally different movie shares, embracing all of the natural the celebrity traces, gentle leaks, grain, and imperfections we may. I hope the outcome seems like a transferring collage of the band’s efficiency and I really like the way it ties into the visible world we’ve been creating for the final 20+ years.”
