Italian post punk duo Kill Your Boyfriend is set to release their anticipated EP, Disco Kills, on May 9thj, 2025 via Sister 9 Recordings. Known for their dark and brooding sounds, the band takes a bold leap into a new direction with this release, incorporating electronic influences which add a pulsating energy to their dark and moody post punk base.
The EP features six tracks, drawing inspiration from acts such as Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, and New Order. At the same time, the duo remains attuned to a more modern electronic style, nodding to contemporary names like The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk.
New single, Obsession, is a hypnotic post punk dance piece with an intriguing concept, delving into the relentless bombardment of prompts in modern consumerist culture. The song acts as a reflection on the addictive nature of material excess, bringing up a detachment from authentic human needs.
Accompanying the track is a music video which underscores the hollowness which is characteristic of this superficial lifestyle.
