A single LP carries all twelve tracks, about 41 minutes split six to a side, and it comes in a gatefold outer sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and a six-panel fold-out poster. Warp pressed it alongside a purple edition reserved for the artist's store and independent shops, and a limited clear edition for select UK retailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album came out on July 10, 2026, styled in lowercase as new avatar. Warp's notes trace it back to the songs Kelela first wrote in the Washington, D.C. indie scene, before club music and electronic production shaped her early career, and describe the result as \"R\u0026amp;B run through distorted guitar.\" Oscar Scheller produced it, A. K. Paul, Fousheé and PinkPantheress appear as guests, and Joe LaPorta mastered it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive singles came ahead of the album, starting on April 8, 2026 with \"idea 1,\" which Pitchfork named Best New Track. \"linknb,\" \"point blank,\" \"outta time\" and \"the bridge\" followed. Metacritic gives the album a weighted score of 86, based on fourteen reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKelela debuted with the 2013 mixtape Cut 4 Me and followed it with the Hallucinogen EP in 2015. Her first album, Take Me Apart, arrived on Warp in 2017 and Raven in 2023, and the 2025 live album In The Blue Light reached No. 5 on the Contemporary Jazz chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eidea 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epoint blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egoin down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoutta time (feat.
