(October 22nd, 2024) - Following the announcement of their debut album Big Smile, Black Mire, set for release on November 1st via True Panther, urika’s bedroom drops a second single, “Video Music,” along with a self-directed music video that captures distorted clips of ub performing in a nondescript location. The new single embodies the album’s masterclass in scene-setting through evocative and powerful arrangements. 


Leading into the album release, urika’s bedroom will be playing London Calling Festival in Amsterdam this Saturday before heading on tour with Chanel Beads for a string of EU and UK dates and festivals kicking off next week. Grab tickets here and full tour routing can be found below.


Big Smile, Black Mire sculpts an expansive universe of timbres and tones, ranging from trashy and lived-in skronks to liquid beams of melody. ub renders a lucid depiction of longing, alienation, and multivalent emotional experiences powered by an avant-garde creative direction. Self-produced and engineered by urika’s bedroom the album is built upon the modern art of guitar processing and recontextualization. The album includes previously released singles “Circle Games,” debut single “Junkie,” and follow-up track “XTC.” 


urika’s bedroom began playing in various genre-fluid bands in Los Angeles, leading to fruitful creative relationships and producing for like-minded artists such as untitled (halo) and Ded Hyatt. In fall 2023, ub invited audiences into an intimate artistic space while heading on tour with Youth Lagoon and Nourished By Time.
