REZN have released »Aerial Birth«, the third single from their forthcoming record »Cycles In The Infinite Dream« available everywhere July 24, 2026.

This record introduces a new tool in REZN’s trade: Spencer Ouellette’s lap steel guitar. The instrument conjures the extraterrestrial weightlessness of the pedal steel guitar featured on Brian Eno’s Apollo: atmospheres and soundtracks album, providing a similar bridge between cosmic ambience and the wide-open terrains of Western music. This is showcased on »Aerial Birth«, where Phil Cangelosi’s roiling basslines provide the counterweight to Ouellette’s helium-grade lap steel before thick slabs of distortion and Patrick Dunn’s rhythmic battery pull everything back to a gravitational center. Throughout, Rob McWilliams’ voice is as beguiling as ever.

REZN – the Chicago-based band of Rob McWilliams (vocals, guitar), Phil Cangelosi (bass), Patrick Dunn (drums), and Spencer Ouellette (synth, saxophone, lap steel) – have announced their new album, »Cycles In The Infinite Dream«, out July 24th via Sargent House, and released the lead single/video, Cloudfall.

Pre-orders for vinyl, CDs, and merch are available at Hello Merch in North America and Evil Greed in Europe. Pre-order/pre-save »Cycles In The Infinite Dream« HERE.

With their newest full-length offering, »Cycles In The Infinite Dream«, REZN masterfully harness the oppressive weight of their full sonic armory to celestial melodies and sublime synesthesia-inducing atmospherics in a manner so seamless it feels otherworldly, as if occupying a liminal space between two realities.
