Radio Free Alice Announce New EP ‘Empty Words’ and Drop 80s-Tinged Single “Toyota Camry”

Australian new wave and post-punk band Radio Free Alice announce their new EP ‘Empty Words,’ out now, alongside the release of their electrifying single “Toyota Camry.” The 80s-inspired track, featuring shimmering guitars and radiant backing vocals, premiered globally on BBC 6 Music and arrives with a cinematic video directed by longtime creative partner Finn Robilliard. Recorded with Peter Katis (Interpol, Bloc Party, Frightened Rabbit), the song showcases the band’s sharp sense of melody and mood while embracing their distinctly emotional sound.

Vocalist Noah Learmonth shared that “Toyota Camry” was inspired by a line from author Mark Fisher: “everyone is bored but nothing is boring.” “We recorded it in Connecticut in a house that resembled the one in ‘Monster House’, a horror movie for kids about a haunted house I watched growing up,” Learmonth explains. “Around the house were scattered Polaroids of other bands Peter had recorded albums with, legendary bands, like Interpol. Constantly stumbling across these fading Polaroids in the cutlery draw or whatever in the old wooden house felt weirdly fitting for the song – the song’s about lost futures, haunted by the past.”

‘Empty Words’ also includes the title track produced by Ewan Pearson (M83, Stella Donnelly, Depeche Mode) and two unreleased songs, “Regret,” produced by Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Perfume Genius, Soccer Mommy), and “Chinese Restaurant,” both recorded in Bristol. Following their acclaimed EP ‘Polyester,’ the band continue their rapid rise with sold-out shows in London and NYC, a Shaky Knees Festival set in Atlanta, and upcoming appearances at Reading and Leeds. With their bold blend of post-punk intensity and new-wave warmth, Radio Free Alice are defining a thrilling new moment in alternative music.

Charcom and Luisa Wilson Deliver Dark Electro Intensity on “KEEP MY EYES ON YOU”

Manhattan-born producer Charcom joins forces with rising vocalist and songwriter Luisa Wilson on his newest single “KEEP MY EYES ON YOU,” out now. The track is a moody and seductive fusion of progressive house, melodic pop, and dark techno textures, marking Charcom’s most emotionally charged and ambitious release to date.

What began as a foggy sonic experiment in Berlin evolved into a pulsing late-night soundscape shaped by the city’s club scene. When Luisa Wilson added her ethereal vocals, the track took on a haunting intimacy. “This one feels like the most intense thing I’ve put out so far,” says Charcom. “It’s dark, emotional, and kinda chaotic in the best way. The production has this constant push and pull, and Luisa’s vocals just cut through everything. Definitely the kind of track that lives somewhere between the dance floor and your head at 2 am.”

“KEEP MY EYES ON YOU” unfolds gradually, with layered synths, smoky piano chords, and hypnotic percussion giving way to distorted bass swells and cinematic tension. Drawing inspiration from artists like Eli & Fur, John Summit, and SG Lewis, Charcom’s sound thrives in emotional precision, each element serving the story. It’s the culmination of his years studying at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute and translating the chaos of real life into melodic form.
