Polish-born Chicago-based alternative / darkwave artist I Ya Toyah returns with ‘White Walls’, a powerhouse offering about the hidden struggles behind the appearance of being okay, with video created by ALEX ZAREK. Released around World Mental Health Day, this haunting single supports her mental health advocacy, with initial proceeds donated to Backline Care, supporting the mental health of music industry professionals. Following ‘Feelings’, ‘Apology’ and her cover of Nine Inch Nails’ classic ‘Closer’ , this series of singles follows her 2024 album DRAMA, co-produced with and mixed by STABBING WESTWARD’s WALTER FLAKUS.

‘White Walls’ is her fourth and final single in a series leading up to her Error Prospect: Human EP, which was developed in collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer Johnny K, (Disturbed, Staind, 3 Doors Down, Megadeath, Finger Eleven).  The first major release since her 2024 album DRAMA, co-produced with and mixed by STABBING WESTWARD’s WALTER FLAKUS, this new material expands I Ya Toyah’s sonic vision without losing the dark atmosphere, emotional intensity, and independent spirit she is known for.

Listen: ‘Let it Rip’ by genCAB

Having founded the industrial-electro act genCAB in 2006, David Dutton put the group on hold following the release of their debut album II transMuter two years later. A forward thinking record in the genre, it had blended elements of EBM and synth-pop into song arrangements perfectly suited for aggressive rock.

genCAB eventually returned in 2022 with a long-awaited follow-up entitled ‘Thoughts Beyond Words’, as well as the genre-bending ‘Everything You See Is Mine’ EP. These were promoted on a US tour with Aesthetic Perfection, for whom both Dutton and genCAB drummer Tim Van Horn had spent the intervening years playing live.
2023 saw genCAB sign to Metropolis Records, with the album ‘Signature Flaws’ appearing in the autumn. A meditation on one’s own demise, it introduced elements of shoegaze and post-hardcore to an already dense melting pot of disparate sounds.

‘Let It Rip’ is a new EP that precedes the cryptically entitled album III I II (THIRD EYE GEMINI), due out in late September 2024. Half of the full-length record is a modern day update of the best material contained on their 2008 debut, with the remainder consisting of brand new songs inspired by the re-recordings.

An improvement in the genCAB sound was already apparent via a recent rework of the 2008 track ‘Perish The Thought’ released as a single in 2023, but everything else is also now amped up to 11. Although retaining a raw and fresh feel that is faithful to the original renditions, the songs have been completely restructured and are sung with more confidence and conviction than ever by Dutton.
