Copenhagen trio Farveblind enlist London's Emmeline for new single + announce debut album 'Micro Pleasures' - out 15th May

Copenhagen trio Farveblind today announce their debut album 'Micro Pleasures', out 15th May. Produced by Farveblind and mixed by Swedish engineer Gustav Brunn (whose credits include work with Yung Lean and Viagra Boys), the album will feature a cast of contributors and guest vocalists including Django Django, k.flay, Elliphant, USERS, Foreign Air and Emmeline.

With touchstones ranging from Battles and The Chemical Brothers to Underworld and Viagra Boys, Farveblind's hard-edged brand of electronic music collides breakbeats, acid-drenched techno, punk fury, and sweeping cinematic layers.

Their forthcoming debut album 'Micro Pleasures' pulls that punk volatility, industrial precision and widescreen electronic drama into the same gravitational field and is previewed today by new single 'Natural Behaviour', featuring London vocalist Emmeline.

Built on a pulsing, subterranean groove, Emmeline’s vocal moves between shadow and clarity, circling the refrain “I’ve been waiting for a change in your natural behaviour” while the skittering instrumental tightens around her.

Speaking about the track, Emmeline says: “When the boys sent me the rough draft of this instrumental it was already so driving and epic. I wanted to write something equally dark but with a momentum and force to it that would move the song into something broadly philosophical and/or existential. The phrase ‘Natural Behaviour’ came to the fore pretty quickly, and I started to think about what that actually means. How much are we a product of the music around us? Of the people? Of the availability of light? Then I started thinking about someone waiting for someone’s natural behaviour to shift — and how that can be a pretty futile task. Maybe the song exists in a club at the ends of the earth, where we’re all questioning why the grass grows upwards, why the bassline hits harder when the beat drops, why we punish the earth for what it gives us — and how some patterns are hard to break.”

For Farveblind, the track marks one of the album’s most atmospheric moments - a collision of introspection and pressure-cooker rhythm that pushes their sound into darker, more meditative terrain.

They added: “’Natural Behaviour’ is one of those tracks that almost pulled itself into existence. We wanted to explore instinct vs environment - what we learn, what we inherit, and what we keep doing even when we know it hurts. Emmeline understood that immediately and took it somewhere haunting and strange. It’s one of our favourite moments on Micro Pleasures.”

The new single follows recent singles 'Salary Man' - an acid-techno/punk treatise on the monotony of office culture, featuring the snarling vocals of Sean Michael Seldorf Flaherty of Danish punk band USERS and 'Battle Lady-Like' - a feverish clash of noise and emotion featuring vocals from Jesse Clasen of enigmatic US duo Foreign Air - both songs set to appear on Farveblind's debut album.

The Danish trio have been quietly building toward this moment in recent years - with a host of EPs and singles already under their belts. The collaborators on 'Micro Pleasures' reflect relationships built over that time, choosing to work with people they’d connected with naturally through touring, festivals and shared scenes. Each contribution comes from a place of curiosity and trust, fitting into the album’s wider tone without changing its centre of gravity.

On the forthcoming album, Farveblind said:

"'Micro Pleasures' is an ode to the small glimpses of happiness you find in the otherwise oppressive mundanity of modern life. It explores how fleeting everyday joys can act as both coping mechanisms and subtle forms of resistance. The album is a collage of work with a lot of very exciting people. It allowed us to tap into genres and energies that wouldn't have been otherwise unavailable to us."

Known for blurring the line between live chaos and club ecstasy, Farveblind’s performances have lit up festivals including Roskilde, Reeperbahn and Eurosonic in recent months, earning them a reputation as one of Europe’s most vital new acts. With the release of their debut album, the trio are sure to cement themselves as one of the most thrilling forces emerging from Copenhagen’s electronic underground.

Farveblind’s debut album 'Micro Pleasures' is out 15th May. New single 'Natural Behaviour' (feat. Emmeline) is out now. Farveblind join ROMES on tour across Europe in February.
