RXRXBBIT breaks the rules of dance pop with the daring and addictive “SUNK COST”
RXRXBBIT is back with “SUNK COST,” a dance-pop single that has a bright beat but a surprisingly heavy emotional center. This is an intentional contradiction that sets her apart right away. She fearlessly constructed this song. It continues her journey into experimental sound, but it feels like a breakthrough moment in her catalog because it is so clear about what it wants to do.
The first beat of “SUNK COST” feels like a rush of neon light. “SUNK COST” exudes a dance-floor energy that allows you to release yourself, despite the challenges life presents. But there is more to it than just the gloss and rhythm. It is a sharp, layered look at what it means to chase success while carrying the weight of class inequality and capitalism on your back. RXRXBBIT doesn’t try to hide the contradictions, frustrations, or even the self-destructive urges that come up when the “sunk cost fallacy” becomes a way of life. She knows that pushing on just because you’ve come too far to stop now can be both fun and detrimental for you.
Her lyrics are sharp and smart, making brave remarks about the stress of living and doing well in a system that isn’t fair. But she also celebrates the fire that keeps people going, even when the climb seems unfair. The heart of the record is this duality: criticism and celebration, exhaustion and excitement.
The song is a sign of RXRXBBIT’s growing artistic skills because they made it themselves. She isn’t afraid to bend dance-pop into new shapes and uses textures and ideas that feel like they are hers. “SUNK COST” is more than just a song; it’s a sign that an artist is actively changing her sound and making something personal into something that everyone can enjoy, dance to, and feel alive.
In a world where most artists pick either escapism or social commentary, RXRXBBIT picks both and mixes them into something bold, addictive, and very human. “SUNK COST” is a dance-pop anthem imbued with intensity, emotion, and vibrant energy that will resonate with you well beyond the final note.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
