Vancouver art-pop trio We Are the City announced their breakup last year, but now the band's Cayne McKenzie and Andrew Huculiak have launched a new project. BIG KILL's debut EP is out today.

BIG KILL describe themselves as a "destructive pop and production duo," drawing on influences including hyperpop, noise, drill and Eurodance. Their four-song debut EP is called BIG KILL FUTURE, and they've shared a video for the pitch-shifted, experimental pop track "Rose Coloured Ear Drums."

Huculiak said in a statement:

BIG KILL represents a forceful push into a philosophical, online, oppositional, inclusive, empathetic, self-empowered communist utopia driven by the internet. In our present, BIG KILL is the antithesis of toxic masculinity and fear of self expression. We'd like to present a healthy male friendship that's deep and playful and vulnerable as an example for other people like us. And hopefully, those not like us will find amusement and power in the exploration. In a world of identity groupings, it feels good to be frank with where we see ourselves and what our experience is, not telling any story but ours, with as little regard as possible to the social consequence.

Check out the "Rose Coloured Ear Drums" video below, and stream the whole EP.
