Darcy Baylis details new album Emotronica and shares "Visa" single
Australian producer and songwriter Darcy Baylis has announced his fourth solo album, Emotronica, due on 4 September. The announcement is paired with a new single "Visa", featuring LA dream pop project Photographic Memory.
The record follows a run of production work for Baylis, including contributions to Ninajirachi's I Love My Computer, one of Best Fit's albums of last year, and collaborations with daine, Debby Friday, and Wicca Phase Springs Eternal. Baylis made writing trips to Los Angeles and London over the past two years, which led to sessions with Wisp, After, and Photographic Memory. The latter produced "Visa", the album's lead single and the first appearance of Baylis and Photographic Memory together outside of their Car Underwater project.
In 2025 Baylis relocated to Los Angeles to work from a new studio with Photographic Memory's Max Epstein, ex-member of Militarie Gun. Baylis also executive produced daine's EP i want the light to swallow me whole, released in June via Pack Records, and co-produced Debby Friday's The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life, released in August via Royal Mountain and Sub Pop. The album will feature Ninajirachi on "Me in Miami". Watch the night-vision video for "Visa" and see the full tracklist below.
