NEW YORK—Twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, collectively known as Ibeyi, announced Wednesday the release of their new album, Offering. The record marks their first since going independent. Ibeyi has been living apart for years. They recorded the Offering separately. Then they mailed each other the tracks. Sources confirmed the twins communicated solely through carrier pigeon.
A New Era Of Solitude
The album explores themes of isolation. It also touches on the challenges of modern dating apps. “We felt a deep connection through our shared isolation,” stated Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Chief Spiritual Officer for Ibeyi. “We were able to channel our mutual loneliness into the Offering. It’s very authentic.” The sisters previously released music under a major label. This new Offering is their first independent release.
Fans can expect a departure from their earlier sound. The new tracks are reportedly slower. They also feature more ambient noise. This includes the sound of dial-up modems. It also includes the sound of distant sirens. “It captures the feeling of being utterly alone,” Naomi Diaz, Head of Sonic Loneliness for Ibeyi, explained. “Like when you accidentally open a Zoom call with your camera on.” The sisters are currently touring the globe virtually.
The Future Is Digital
The Offering is set for release next month. It will be available on all major streaming platforms. It will also be available on cassette tape. Fans can pre-order the album at ibeyi.com. The album artwork features two abstract blobs. They are floating in a vast, empty expanse. Some critics have called the artwork “bold.” Others have called it “a placeholder.”
At press time, Ibeyi announced a surprise collaboration. It will feature the sound of their landlords arguing. The album is expected to be a commercial success. It is also expected to induce mild ennui.
