Chymes has landed.

The Australian alt-pop artist’s new EP, Alien, is a hyper-pop joyride through self-discovery and unapologetic individuality. Featuring the colourful new single ‘Sour,’ the record is a bold leap into freedom, creativity, and fun, showcasing her evolution as a songwriter and performer.

“This EP is very special to me because I felt a lot of personal and emotional freedom creating it,” Chymes says. “When we were writing these songs, it was during a time where I felt like I finally met myself and was actually embracing who I am and celebrating what makes me weird or different. I had so much fun building this little Alien world lyrically and sonically, so it’s really exciting to finally have it all out wrapped up in a nice little package. I hope any listeners who come across these songs can feel the fun and playfulness that’s coated in the dark hyperpop atmosphere, and maybe feel encouraged to embrace their quirks too.”

Tracks like ‘UFO’ and ‘Sweet’ bubble with quirky energy, while ‘Voodoo Doll’ and ‘Celestial’ channel both joy and vulnerability. On Alien, Chymes fully leans into her signature sound—ethereal yet playful, introspective yet infectious.

With Alien, Chymes invites us into her cosmic world, one that’s vibrant, liberating, and unmistakably hers. Ready to embrace the weird and wonderful? Hit play and take off.
