New York alternative duo Sex Week have announced their debut album, Ears as an Organ of Touch, arriving February 12, 2027 through Grand Jury. The announcement comes with the album's dreamy title track and an intimate self-directed music video.
Formed by Richard Orofino and Pearl Amanda Dickson, Sex Week surfaced with an eponymous EP in 2024 before releasing Upper Mezzanine in 2025. Their debut full-length record was written and tracked during their first year sharing a Brooklyn apartment. That intimate domestic environment provided fertile ground for a suite of songs exploring deep emotional bonding, social alienation and the fuzzy boundary between home life and the external city.
September's single Life is a Circle provided an early glimpse of the record's direction, while Ears as an Organ of Touch deepens their signature blend of hazy guitars, warm synth pads and confessional harmonies. The ten-track collection also features Big Brother, Walk Me Home, Barilinero, Collateral, American Pope, Talk, Baby Baby and Stockholm St.
Having built momentum through stage appearances alongside Mitski, Fcukers and Cardinals, as well as showcases at Pitchfork Festival Paris and Iceland Airwaves, Sex Week are currently supporting Pretty Sick on winter tour dates. Apparently the main challenge of recording inside a Brooklyn apartment is determining whether a strange sound is brilliant avant-garde percussion or a neighbour's spin cycle.
