The two-piece comprised of Melissa Scaduto and Brady Keehn, confirm the news in a statement, saying:
Hey everyone. It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing the hiatus of Sextile. It was an insane ride full of ups and downs. We played amazing shows and met amazing people. We appreciate, more than anything, everyone’s support for this project. We would like to thank all the promoters who gave us an opportunity to perform. And we would also like to thank the team behind Sextile that helped make this all happen, you know who you are. We will be continuing to do art and music but as separate entities for now.
Since its inception in 2015, Sextile have gained a devout following thanks to the seductive energy of their live shows and non-stop touring.
Their latest release was the excellent EP '3', which came out in September 2018 through Felte Records. Re-visit the video for "Disco", a track from that record below.

Los Angeles post punk band Sextile have announced the release of their new EP '3'.
The EP follows up their 2017 album 'Albeit Living', it was recorded in Los Angeles at their home and practice space using a KORG MS-10, a sequencer, a Fender Stratocaster, a LinnDrum, and various percussion instruments. It will be out on September 14 through Felte Records. Pre-order your copy here.
After numerous lineup changes, the now two-piece comprised of Brady Keehn and Melissa Scaduto have shifted toward a minimalist approach that’s as heavy hitting as ever. Now favoring synths over guitars, they haven't thrown out the strings completely.
Finding inspiration in futurist writer Luigi Russolo's "The Art of Noises," the pair employs a sonic palette that mirrors the chaos of the modern industrial era. Sextile excels at regulating noise, whether the source is a percussive clang, guitar stab, synth trill, or Keehn's militant vocals. Throughout '3,' bursts of abrupt discord punctuate thumping rhythms and hypnotic bass sequences. While the appropriately titled "Disco" is a club-worthy opener, "Spun" delivers the signature Sextile sound with rowdy, squealing guitars.
'3' places the band's sound somewhere between DAF and Gang of Four, but it's that tinge of futurism and the observations of the current political climate that steer them right to the present. It's the explosive sound of now – it's punk that can hold down a dance floor.
Check out the EP's tracklist and watch the video for their addictive new single "Paradox", below.

Los Angeles post punk band Sextile have revealed a lyric video for their infectious new single "Current Affair (feat. Sienna)".
The song has been added to our current playlist and is out now via Felte Records. Grab your copy here.
About the track guest singer Sienna Scarritt, said: "Lyrically, the song addresses the regression of our (American) nation. It’s a backwards motion, a lapse in front of our eyes—happening fast. The song is a verbal refusal of getting caught in this current of delusion. It’s a plea to the world to wake up."
