Scaler, recently signed to Black Acre Records, has announced their sophomore album, Endlessly, set for release on September 26. The Bristol-based alt. electro outfit blends genres like techno, metal, trip-hop, and drum & bass into a more accessible format. Unlike their previous album, created during lockdown, this new project features increased collaboration with guest artists, including Akiko Haruna, who appears on the single "Salt." This track reflects on the cyclical nature of shame in personal identity. Additionally, Scaler will be touring the U.K. from November 6-19, following a local performance with IDLES.
Reflecting on this evolution, how do you think the collaborative nature of their new album will influence the overall sound and reception compared to their earlier work?
