Melbourne-based digital pop artist Katie Dey is set to release her new album, titled "universal will," just four weeks after her previous LP, "never falter hero girl." Although limited information is available about the upcoming project across various online platforms, the opening track "for you" has already been released and received acclaim.
The new song showcases a departure from Dey's previous work, featuring a more aggressive drumbeat and electric guitar arrangement. As the track progresses over five minutes, it evolves into a near-epic composition, demonstrating Dey's compositional range. Despite the stylistic changes, the lyrics maintain a connection to her earlier work, often painting vivid and occasionally disturbing imagery. For instance, the line "not a person just a bundle of data points" exemplifies this trend.
The album's tracklist includes a range of titles, such as "shadow self," "masterplan," "fearless zone," "emerging from debris," "vacant lot / home," "last night of the world," "angel in the server room," "unfathomable you / catherine wheel," and the titular track, "universal will." The album is set to be released on November 6, with pre-orders available now.
