Subsonic Eye recently debuted three new songs in a session for Seattle public radio station KEXP in July as part of their maiden American tour, which took them across eight cities including New York, Boston and Philadelphia. The new tracks, ‘Bug In Spring’, ‘Yearning’, and ‘J-O-B’, continue the urgent post-punk stylings of their third album, ‘Nature of Things’, which NME named the best Asian album of 2021.
The record also bagged Best Album By An Asian Artist, over a field that included works by BAP., Ben&Ben and No Good, at 2022’s BandLab NME Awards earlier this year. The noise rock band’s most recent release was February’s ‘Dijangka / Matahari’ EP, which marked their first release sung in Malay.
