Chicago indie rockers Sybris drop first single in 13 years
Chicago, IL 02.27.2026
Chicago indie rock veterans Sybris are pumped to release "Time to Lean" their first new single in 13 years. Imagine Siouxsie fronting a Cure/Mogwai supergroup, with every member suffering from limerence. Joy Division verses give way to MBV choruses, crashing into a heart-wrenching bridge about separation and loss, closing with a scary march to the unknown.
"Time to Lean" is a digital split with London and Paris based Muscle Vest, who bring post-rock intensity their new single, "Barbacide".
Sybris' sound is a nostalgic throwback to 90s indie alt-rock, earning them critical acclaim (Pitchfork 8.0) and gigs at Lollapalooza and ACL. Now, as shoegaze and grunge nostalgia dominate the scene, Sybris is here to show they were doing it before it was cool.
Release Date 2/28/2026
