"If a solar storm was a song, it would be 'Maelstrom',” says experimental electronic duo CHXMERAS of their new single, the latest from their upcoming EP, Second Sight. “This one feels electromagnetic and irradiated. It flashes out of some fire-filled core and accelerates the particles around it. When we first started working on the track, it felt like a straight up, ink-black, late night Berlin techno banger. But as we dug in, the track started to glitch, fray, and fall apart -- and we leaned into that direction. ‘Maelstrom’ evolved into its fragmented form and now it feels furious. You can almost hear shards and spikes flying off from it the whole way through, like it could spark a fire everywhere it touches."

MORE ABOUT CHXMERAS
CHXMERAS are a transatlantic collaboration between UK/Canadian musician Paul Finlay from the North East of England and Vancouver-based nêhiyaw/Denesuline musician Jarrett Martineau from Treaty 6 territory. Together, they weave immersive soundscape with angular dub, experimental techno, mutating noise, and bit-crushed beats into a genre-blending, otherworldly experience.

Out June 13, their new EP, Second Sight is about “standing face-to-face with the wild, furious, anything goes, free-for-all, freefall present moment that we’re all living through,” says CHXMERAS. “When we set out to make this record, we didn’t know where we would end up, but we knew that we wanted it to sound and feel like the chaos and anxieties that are swirling all around us.”

CHXMERAS released their debut album, Terminal City, in 2024 on Virtua94 Records. Hailed by RANGE Magazine as “a multilayered cinematic masterpiece", the album charts a sonic passage through the echoes and ruins of late-stage capitalism, environmental degradation, and urban decay. Using modular synths, drum machines, live efx, field recordings, film samples and live improvisation, CHXMERAS take listeners into a hallucinatory landscape where fractal paths, lost futures, and the disorienting present collide.

The EP’s first single, “Sublimation”, set that idea in motion. “When we were making the song, it felt like we were being guided by premonitions,” the duo explains. “Like the future rushing toward us. And the music came flying at the same speed. “Sublimation” channels the feeling of being hurtled inevitably through space toward an unknown destination and unknowable outcomes. It’s driving, overwhelming, and always on the edge of breaking down. But it’s also about trying to capture that frenetic energy and take its power back before everything cascades fully out of control.”
