Overview
- bitknot, which the band released on May 26, 2026, is available now via Saddle Creek and arrived without prior notice to fans.
- Remaining members Sebastian Kinsler, Lydia Slocum, and Jake Kelley wrote, arranged, produced, and recorded the album in their homes in Pittsburgh after the 2025 departure of founding guitarist Ryan Walchonski.
- The record pairs a concept based on the 'coincidental core memory matrix'—an old computer method of storing bits—as its artwork and uses themes about memory, human connection, technology, and consumer culture.
- Musically the album builds on the group's shoegaze roots while folding in elements of glitch, hyperpop, and 1990s alternative rock to create a more varied indie-pop sound.
- The band announced a worldwide tour beginning in Richmond, Virginia in July, with presales starting May 28 and general ticket sales on May 29, and the routing covers North America, Canada, the UK, and Europe.
