Electro industrial and alternative rock artist Staytus returns with “Kiss N Tell,” a brooding and confrontational single that blends grunge-era aggression with cinematic weight. Produced by Grammy-winning producer Mikal Blue and recorded at Revolver Recording Studio in California, the track explores obsession, secrecy, and emotional collision through distorted guitars, layered vocals, and a sense of mounting tension. The song arrives as a sharp continuation of Staytus’s industrial-grunge hybrid, leaning into atmosphere while keeping its punch direct and physical.
Powering the track is a commanding drum performance from Jeff Friedl, whose work with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer informs the song’s heavy pulse, while Anthony Laurie of Thredge adds serrated guitar lines that cut through the mix. Visually, “Kiss N Tell” draws inspiration from The Silence Of The Lambs, featuring gothic imagery centered on secrecy and transformation. Following the earlier single “68 Kill,” produced by Matt McJunkins, this release further establishes Staytus as an artist unafraid to lean into darker themes, sharper sounds, and a fully charged industrial edge.
