Sudan Archives announces third album, THE BPM

Sudan describes “MY TYPE” as her first “rap rap song” – a cascading track about sexual liberation that also features some of her most outré production. “The song is kind of flirty and corny and sexy, because I’m hyping up my friends and also saying ‘These are the types of girls I like’,” she says. “It’s also hinting on sexuality – are these just friends, or women I’m in love with?” In the video directed by Luke Orlando, Sudan produces multiple ‘types’ of herself, cycling through personalities before reconciling the person behind the technology and self she’s created.

Last month, Sudan Archives returned with "DEAD" as the first taster of new music following her second album, Natural Brown Prom Queen.

On THE BPM she introduces a new persona: Gadget Girl, a technologically advanced musician who’s exalted by her embrace of technology. “I was never the girl in a band in high school – I could only express myself for the first time when I got my first iPad and started making beats on it, and when I got my first electric violin. I’m all gadget girled out now, but I’ve never felt so free as a human,” she says.

Sudan Archives has also announced her biggest headline shows in the UK & Europe to date with shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Dublin, and more.
