Kill Your Boyfriend

Italian post-punk duo Kill Your Boyfriend has announced the release of their new EP 'Disco Kills' on 09 May via Sister 9 Recordings.

Today they share first single 'Obsession', a post-punk dance track that prompts contemplation on the overwhelming influx of stimuli from modern consumerist society, promoting an unhealthy dependency that disconnects individuals from their genuine needs. This cycle of constant consumption ultimately reduces life to a repetitive loop of birth, consumption, and death. The accompanying video, directed by Alice Lorenzon, emphasizes the superficiality and lack of fulfilment this lifestyle brings.

"'Disco Kills' was created from the band's desire to explore the hopes, obsessions, illusions, and disappointments of the many young people who frequent clubs and meeting places during the so-called "growth" years, at a point when everyone is still searching for their true selves.

The EP sees Kill Your Boyfriend experimenting with new sounds that lean towards electronic music, creating a more rarefied space for the guitars while maintaining the dark atmospheres that distinguish them. It features 6 songs drawing inspiration from past greats such as Kraftwerk, Moroder, and New Order, while also keeping an eye on artists like the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and Paul Kalkbrenner.

Kill Your Boyfriend have already confirmed a few European live dates over the next few months, with more to be announced soon.
