@ – “Punish My Mind”
The electronic folk duo @ have released "Punish My Mind," the second single from their forthcoming album Autosmile, following the title track shared in June 2026. The release keeps momentum building ahead of the album's autumn arrival, offering fans a fuller sense of the record's sound and tone before its full release.
The band describe the track as "a chill song about self-torture" that may be one of the oldest recordings on the album, featuring a prominent wind arrangement, layered vocal harmonies, and monkey shrieks woven into its sprawling arrangement. The song arrives with a music video directed by band member Stone Flipczak. Autosmile is set for release on 16 October via 4AD.

Explained simply
Electronic folk combines electronic sounds and production with elements associated with folk music, such as acoustic instruments and close vocal harmonies. A duo is a musical act made up of two people; here, one member, Stone Flipczak, also directed the video for the new track.
The song is due to appear on Autosmile, the duo’s forthcoming album, released by the independent record label 4AD. Singles released ahead of an album can give listeners an early sense of its sound, while the full record brings the songs together in context.
