Blawan has shared details of his second solo studio album, SickElixir.

Marking his first full-length release for XL Recordings, following a string of EPs for the label, the 14-track record is billed as the UK artist’s most personal work yet, and sees him process grief, family trauma and seismic life shifts.

He will mark the release of SickElixir with a pair of live shows at London’s Village Underground on October 10, and Amsterdam’s Parallel on October 22. Ticket information for the two gigs can be found here.

To mark the announcement of the new album, Blawan has shared lead single ‘NOS’, which you can listen to below.

XL Recordings will release SickElixir on October 10, 2025.
