Soulwax, the Belgian electronic music duo of brothers David and Stephen Dewaele, have announced their first album in seven years. All Systems Are Lying is out October 17 (via Deewee/Because Music). Leading the follow-up to 2018’s Essential are two new songs: the record’s title track and “Run Free.” Listen to both below.
In a press statement, Soulwax described All Systems Are Lying as “a rock album made without any electric guitars.” The duo continued, “We wanted to capture the feeling of a band playing electronic instruments—live, loud and loose. This record is the result of that experiment”
Alongside their work as Soulwax, the brothers Dewaele perform as 2manydjs and run the label Deewee. In recent years, Deewee has issued standout works from Charlotte Adigéry, Bolis Pupul, and Marie Davidson, among others.
