GRAMMY-nominated multi-disciplinary artist, FKA twigs has released “Drums Of Death”, the latest song to be revealed from her forthcoming third studio album EUSEXUA.

Produced by close album collaborator Koreless, “Drums Of Death” was the last track to be completed for the album and sees FKA twigs set her sights firmly on the dancefloor. The instrumental was originally created by Koreless while on a flight to Berlin to perform at Berghain, subsequently mixed on the legendary venue’s PA during soundcheck, and then debuted that evening at the club.

Twigs later brought trans artist and club kid poet Tintin to collaborate on lyrics and add to the experimental dance floor club energy. Combined with twigs’ own inimitable vocals and musicianship, and energized by her experiences of Prague’s underground techno scene – a key source of inspiration for EUSEXUA – while filming The Crow.

"Drums of Death" follows the album’s title track "EUSEXUA", as well as "Perfect Stranger". EUSEXUA is FKA twigs' fourth studio album following Caprisongs, MAGDALENE, and LP1.

"Drums of Death" is out now. EUSEXUA will be released on 24 January 2025 via Young Recordings and is available to pre-order now.
