Soulwax Detail First New Album in Seven Years, ‘All Systems Are Lying’

The new record is described by the brotherly duo as "a rock album made without any electric guitars"

Soulwax are set to release their first album of new material in seven years, titled All Systems Are Lying.

Comprised of 14 tracks, the follow-up to 2018’s Essentials is described by the brotherly duo of David and Stephen Dewaele as “a rock album made without any electric guitars”. They added: “We wanted to capture the feeling of a band playing electronic instruments – live, loud and loose. This record is the result of that experiment.”

To mark the announcement of All Systems Are Lying, the duo have shared the title track and another single called ‘Run Free’. Listen to both songs below.

Alongside their work as Soulwax, the Dewaele brothers perform together as 2manydjs and run the label Deewee, which put out Marie Davidson’s latest album, City Of Clowns, earlier this year.

Deewee / Because Music will release All Systems Are Lying on October 17, 2025.
