The new Soulwax album ‘All Systems Are Lying‘ has just been released, and the reviews in the music press is raving.
Here are some quotes:
“The Dewaele Brothers have overhauled 21st century pop music….praise be that the Dewaeles are back at their day job and sounding as mighty as they’ve ever been at it” Classic Pop // ★★★★ ½ // Best New Release
“All Systems Are Lying – recorded with three drummers and no live guitars – displays plenty of turbo-charged, New Order-ish electro-pop traits of their best work” ~ Record Collector // ★★★★ (full review online)
“The album’s second track, ‘Run Free’ is arguably their best self-created track with its acid house wiggles, angelic harmonies and an ending of disjointed electro madness. It’s a front runner for electro song of 2025” ~ The Skinny // ★★★★
“The Dewaeles – with Stephen’s vocals a potent weapon throughout – continue to balance emotional songwriting and dance music energy with aplomb” ~ Mojo // ★★★★
“…a wonderfully wonky and filthy slab of jittery electro” ~ Uncut // 8/10
“All Systems Are Lying marks a fine return to the fray for Soulwax that incorporates a plethora of sounds while keeping hips swinging and heads spinning, and making it clear that these dancefloor veterans are far from spent some 30 years since they first stepped into the spotlight” ~ The Arts Desk (full review online)
“Just listen carefully through headphones to the production here. You’ll immediately hear why these technically progressive brothers are among the most sought-after remixers on the planet” – OOR (Netherlands)
“It’s the catchy pop songs, where songwriting and superior production merge, that make the new Soulwax a gem.” (…) “Belgium’s finest have done it again. Did you expect anything different?” – HUMO // ★★★★ ½
“It’s an exemplary manifestation of Soulwax’s theme of society’s downward spiral triggered by technology’s most nefarious side effects. And you can dance to it.” – SPIN
