Syrian-Armenian-American experimental art-pop visionary KÁRYYN has revealed plans for her new full-length album, Physics Universal Love Language (PULL), arriving May 29, 2026 via Mute Records. The announcement comes alongside the release of the lead single “Collapse Phase” and a striking official video directed by Jenna Marsh. The 10-track project signals a bold evolution in KÁRYYN’s sonic language, blending voice, modular synthesis, strings, and what she describes as “gravitational beats” tuned to 432 Hz, all anchored in themes of collapse, compassion, clarity, and self-determination.
Co-produced by KÁRYYN with Hudson Mohawke and James Ford, the album also features contributions from Jacques Greene, Steve Nalepa, Luca Perry, and Duncan Fuller. String arrangements are performed by Raven Bush, with qanun by Syrian musician Maya Youssef, while mixing was handled by Marta Salogni and mastering by Joker. The result is an ambitious, texturally rich body of work that fuses avant-garde production with deeply human emotional stakes.
“Collapse Phase” serves as the album’s thematic entry point, described by KÁRYYN as “the sonic threshold of confrontation and acceptance,” capturing the rupture of outdated systems and the emergence of new truths. The video features legendary choreographer Supple Nam in his first on-camera performance in nearly two decades, alongside dancer Sattva Thanh-Tú Nguyễn, amplifying the song’s intensity through movement and embodiment. With pre-orders now live across digital, CD, and limited vinyl formats, Physics Universal Love Language (PULL) positions KÁRYYN once again at the forefront of experimental music’s most daring and emotionally resonant frontier.
