Swedish electro/post-punk/industrial pioneers Agent Side Grinder have returned with their new single, "The Choir", marking their first new material since 2023 and their debut release for Metropolis Records.

Produced by Jimmy Monell (Kite, Emmon) and recorded at the band's own studio in north-west Stockholm, "The Choir" arrives four years after the critically acclaimed Jack Vegas. Released in 2023, the album earned Agent Side Grinder the Best Synth award at Sweden's Manifestgalan, marking the third time the band had claimed the honour.

Discussing the new track, the band explain: "'The Choir' explores how words can spread, multiply and spiral into something uncontrollable. It's about the power of voices and what happens when they take on a life of their own."

Driven by the band's trademark fusion of darkwave, post-punk and industrial electronics, the single serves as the first preview of Signals, an EP scheduled for release in March 2027 and the opening chapter of a forthcoming double-EP project.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in contemporary underground electronic music, Agent Side Grinder have inspired a new generation of artists, including Molchat Doma and Boy Harsher, while also earning praise from scene veterans such as Front 242.

In support of the new release, the band will embark on a European tour in early 2027, including a co-headlining run with fellow Swedish dark rockers and Metropolis Records labelmates Then Comes Silence. Link
