Northern Irish DJ duo Bicep have announced their first album in five years. The new record, Slug, is set for release on January 29 through Ninja Tune. It follows their 2021 album Isles.
To go with the announcement, Bicep shared three new tracks: “Gas,” “Ultra,” and “Equarium.” They also released music videos for the songs, directed by Young Replicant, which together make up a short film about pigeon fanciers.
Bicep said the title Slug was inspired by the difference between the plain land slug most people picture and the colorful, complex forms of underwater slugs. They said they wanted this album to sound broader and more varied than their earlier work.
The album includes guest contributions from Lauren Duffus, Soarr, Eartheater, Saskia, Clark, George Riley, Sassy 009, Kehina, and others. Bicep also announced 2027 live dates in New York and London.
