Rhye Arrives With New Single “Count to Five,” New Album Blood to Follow

The duo known as Rhye have released a slew of sensual tracks (called “Taste” and “Please” ) leading up to their new album Blood, which they’ve announced will be out Feb. 2 via Loma Vista recordings. Their full-length debut, Woman, was the kind of album we played on repeat without noticing where one song slipped into the next. The follow-up promises to be groovier—the tease before the bedroom portion of the evening.

“We’ve spent the last few years on the road translating the Woman album from a bedroom project into a full live experience. With Blood, it’s been the opposite process; the music and sounds were really born out of the live environment and are built for performance,” Rhye frontman Milosh writes in a statement. “It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable in front of an audience night after night. I use the same courage on every song on this record.”

You can listen to the song they’ve shared today—”Count to Five”—in the player below and preorder Blood here. The accompanying video is what we might call subtle magic or the still arms of freedom. Or maybe just how you feel while you’re listening to a Rhye song: a sense of calm focus that always comes back to the senses.
