Barbican Estate

Tokyo-formed, London-based trio return with their most expansive and

experimental record to date, featuring new singles "Derek" and "Atlas"

Barbican Estate announce their second album, Rock Drill, due for release on 6 November

2026 via God Unknown Records. The Tokyo-formed, London-based three-piece have

spent the past few years carving out their own space within the UK underground,

combining the stark geometry of Brutalism with experimental rock, noise and intensely

physical live performance.

Rock Drill sees Barbican Estate pushing that sound further. More experimental and

expansive than their previous work, the album stretches the trio's palette while retaining

the raw, confrontational energy that has become central to their live shows. It is a record

built around tension and movement - abrasive and playful, dense and spacious, with the

band continually pushing against the edges of what three musicians can do together.
