Chicago electropop group Pixel Grip have announced their third studio album.
Revealed yesterday, Percepticide: The Death of Reality will be released on June 12. The 12-track release will feature the previously released singles “Split”, “Stamina,” and “Bet You Do”. To celebrate the album announcement, a new single titled “Reason to Stay” is out on digital services right now. Vocalist Rita Lukea said this about the single:
“The focus track of the album embodies aggression. With a pounding, abrasive bassline and a chorus that’s shouted at you: “What's the point of giving less than 100%? You pushed me to the limit what the f—k you expect?”
Pixel Grip have also announced a headlining tour across North America, which kicks off on September 23 at St. Louis’ OFF Broadway. Tour dates can be seen below. Presale tickets are live right now here. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (May 9) at 12 p.m. local time.
