"With EUSEXUA explained as "a love letter to the techno rave scene and how it can initiate change within," this new album "expands on the feelings that come after experiencing EUSEXUA, transmuting them into a soundtrack for the hours after the rave and extending that high into the afters," according to a press release. " Afterglow is a record steeped in the reverence of techno, but the beats now are fractured and derelict, and playful most importantly."
"The EUSEXUA Afterglow era officially kicked off last month in Seoul, Korea, with an intimate after-party and rave where "Cheap Hotel" was played for the first time. "Cheap Hotel" is a shimmering and shape-shifting synth-drenched soundscape featuring FKA twigs' airy, delicate vocals. The atmospheric track's post-rave perspective is perfectly mirrored in the song's surreal Jordan Hemingway-directed music video."
EUSEXUA Afterglow evolved from plans for a deluxe edition into a standalone album with a completely new tracklist. The record acts as a continuation of EUSEXUA and frames itself as a love letter to the techno rave scene, translating post-rave emotions into a soundtrack for the hours after the event. The beats are presented as fractured, derelict, and playfully experimental while maintaining reverence for techno. The lead single "Cheap Hotel" features synth-drenched, shape-shifting production and airy vocals, premiered at an intimate after-party in Seoul. The artist has also spent the year touring, previewing new material, and taking on notable film roles.
