ALT BLK ERA continue their ascent with ‘Tissues’, a punchy and emotionally loaded new single that signals a confident next chapter for the Nottingham duo.
Released ahead of their forthcoming EP 'Our World', the track finds sisters Nyrobi and Chaya Beckett-Messam leaning further into the collision points between pop, rock and electronic music that have come to define their sound, but with a new sense of clarity and control.
Built on driving EDM rhythms and serrated guitar lines, ‘Tissues’ moves fast but hits hard. Its glossy, hyper-pop sheen masks a song rooted in emotional overload, capturing the feeling of being stretched thin by both personal and global pressures. Nyrobi’s vocals sit front and centre, cutting through the chaos with melodic precision, while the production keeps things tight, restless and deliberately unresolved.
Following the success of their album 'Rave Immortal' - a UK No.1 on the Rock & Metal Chart - and a 2025 MOBO Award win - ‘Tissues’ feels less like a reinvention than a sharpening of intent. It’s accessible without losing edge, vulnerable without slipping into softness.
'Our World' is landing in May and a headline UK tour is close behind.
