New York-based electronic duo Ear have a new album on the way. Rumspringa<\/em> is out May 29 on their new label, A24 Music, and arrives with plenty of mystery. They have yet to share a track list, album artwork, or music, but they have detailed an ethos behind the album, calling it a \u201c\u201cchoose life\u2019 record\u201d in a press statement. The announcement follows the release of a new song, \u201cNe Plus Ultra,\u201d earlier this month.<\/p>\n Ear\u2019s Jonah Paz and Yaelle Avtan met in 2024 while attending Bard College, bonding over a shared interest in British post-punk and IDM. \u201c[Our] sound is so funny because we both realised, after talking about music for two days straight, that we had a\u00a0vision for a\u00a0type of music that should be made right now,\u201d Avtan told the<\/em> Face<\/em><\/a> in March of the band\u2019s formation. Paz added: \u201cThe way we make music is basically looking over to the other to see what facial expression they\u2019re making.\u201d<\/p>\n The duo released their first official single \u201cNerves,\u201d in 2024, which they followed up with a debut album, The Most Dear and the Future<\/em>, in 2025. Paz also formed a solo project, Sacred Holes, in 2025.<\/p>\n
