Danny L Harle today announces details of his Cerulean, which will be released on February 13th 2026 via XL Recordings. The LP is the Follow-up to his 2021’s Harlecore project, Harle considers Cerulean his true debut. “This is my debut album,” he says. “It really is the big one.”

Along with the news, Harle has dropped Cerulean’s third single “Crystallise My Tears” – a collaboration with Oklou and MNEK. It follows the success of previous acclaimed singles “Starlight (ft Pinkpantheress)” and “Azimuth (ft. Caroline Polacheck)”. Speaking about the collaboration, Harle says:

“I already knew Oklou from our frequent collaboration, I simply sent the song over to her, she nailed the vocal and sent it back. We didn’t have to share many words as we love very similar things about music. She has a particular ability to convey emotion through tone, and I really feel it in this one, there is a surreal alien beauty to her delivery.

I knew Uzo (MNEK) as well, I am honoured to have the king of UK house grace the most house-adjacent track on my album with such a soaring and emotional vocal.“

Cerulean was inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, existing “on the threshold between dreams and reality.” Harle enlisted a cast of collaborators, including Caroline Polachek, Clairo, Julia Michaels, PinkPantheress, Oklou and MNEK, alongside newer voices like kacha, and even his own daughters.

Harle, arrived from the visionary PC Music collective with 2013’s “Broken Flowers,” then produced and collaborated with of Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen, Oklou, FKA twigs, Florence and The Machine, Shygirl, Dua Lipa, and co-executive producing Caroline Polachek’s Pang, as well as earning a GRAMMY nomination for his work on “Desire, I Want to Turn Into You.”

Fusing rave maximalism, classical composition, and emotional depth, Cerulean is the latest evolution of Harle’s artistic journey, distilling his lifelong fascination with beauty, wonder, and the unknown. “I just have this mad desire to make my own favourite music,” he says. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.”
