Melbourne-based post-punk outfit EXEK will release their seventh album, ‘Prove The Mountains Move’, on February 27, 2026. This eight-track record marks the band’s debut for the DFA label. Vocalist and chief architect Albert Wolski describes the new material as a lush and unabashedly melodic set of surrealist pop. The project luxuriates in contradiction while maintaining a more expansive scale than previous recordings. Wolski states, “This record is experimental in its craft, but it may not necessarily sound experimental.”
The band begins their 2026 US tour dates with a four-night residency opening for LCD Soundsystem at Roadrunner in Boston. Following these appearances from April 30 to May 3, the group travels to Ridgewood, New York, to headline TV Eye on May 6. This announcement follows an album release show at The Curtin in Melbourne on March 14. Tickets for the Boston residency go on sale Friday, February 27, at 10:00 AM ET, while Brooklyn tickets are available now. This collection of dates represents the first North American performances for the new album cycle.
