After debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts with their 2024 debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong), KATSEYE returns with 'Gnarly', a hard-hitting club banger built on earth-quaking 808s, gritty rave synths and a pugnacious attitude.
As they embark on this new era, KATSEYE captures what it’s like to grow up in the digital age and to simultaneously be thrust in the limelight – resulting in a heady blend of excitement, vulnerability and overstimulation. Always reveling in life’s dualities, KATSEYE leans into the dual meaning of “gnarly” and embraces the blurred line between the real and the digital worlds.
The track, released today via HYBE x Geffen Records, was produced by Pink Slip, Tim Randolph, HYBE founder "hitman" Bang and Slow Rabbit. The official video, directed by Cody Critcheloe, made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
KATSEYE says, “We want people to feel the vibes, to really connect with our music. ‘Gnarly’ feels true to us — it’s bold, it’s fun, and it shows a different side of what we’re about. It feels good to share more of that as we grow alongside the EYEKONS,” referring to the group’s dedicated fandom.
