Out February 13, 2026 on limited edition black vinyl packaged in a special gatefold sleeve featuring a mirror foil lamination on the inner panel revealing a 'self-portrait of the protomensch.' On Protomensch (German for \"proto-human\"), Felsmann + Tiley blend shimmering synthwave, pounding trance, and introspective IDM with synth-pop-infused tracks featuring guest vocalists including London's Pet Deaths and Australian artists The Kite String Tangle, Woodes, and Laius. This juxtaposition between sentient beings and machines permeates the whole album - right from the duo's manifesto introducing us the highly intelligent yet irrevocably shortsighted and downright tragic character of Protomensch - the cover artwork featuring turtleneck wearing chimpanzee, futuristic music videos, and stark social media aesthetics to seated, next-level live-shows involving collaboration with dozens of visual artists. Despite their online ubiquity, sparked in part by their viral reinterpretation of label-mate M83's \"Solitude, \" which has been used over 1 million times on TikTok and high-profile syncs on shows including Young Royals (season two), the BAFTA-winning crime thriller Top Boy (season three), and Amazon's The Better Sister, Felsmann + Tiley have lingered largely on the periphery, their origins cloaked in quiet anonymity, until now. With the release of Protomensch, Felsmann + Tiley present their fully realized artistic vision and step into the spotlight.
