Swedish electronic band Agent Side Grinder have issued their new single, “The Choir,” marking their initial release on Metropolis Records. The track serves as their first new output following their 2023 album Jack Vegas, which earned the Best Synth category at Sweden’s Manifestgalen Awards.
Recorded at the trio’s private studio in northwestern Stockholm, “The Choir” was produced by Jimmy Monell, known for work with Kite and Emmon. The band noted that the composition centers on themes regarding the proliferation and resonance of language, examining how spoken messages can expand and evolve independently.
The track is scheduled to be included on Signals, an upcoming EP scheduled for release in March 2027 that forms part of an intended double EP collection. Formed in Stockholm in the late 2000s by Peter Fristedt and Johan Lange, the current lineup features lead vocalist Emanuel Åström alongside Fristedt and Lange, who handle synthesizers, sampling, programming, and percussion.
