Weval share new single “Movement”, the final track to be shared from their forthcoming album, Chorophobia , out this Friday 5th September on Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour. “Movement” is the follow-up to “Just Friends,” “Dopamine” and “Open Up That Door” ft: Kiliminjaro. Weval will set off on a headline tour throughout October and November, including a stop at London’s iconic Hackney Church venue.

When it came to record Chorophobia Weval faced their fears. Despite being grouped into the dance scene since their 2013-released debut EP ‘Half Age’ and going on to play festival stages including Nuits Sonores, Lowlands, Primavera, Best Kept Secret, Pukkelpop and DGTL Amsterdam with their five-piece band, Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albers have actively pushed away from being known as a floor-filling act. But, more recently, when the pair stumbled across the phrase chorophobia – which means a fear of dancing – they decided to lean into the irony and get out of their comfort zones. “Until that point, we had always worked on records with a ‘listening’ mindset,” Harm reflects of Weval’s second and third albums (2019’s ‘The Weight’ and 2023’s ‘Remember’) – “we realised that we’ve been scared of making dance music for all of our journey as producers. We wanted to commit in a way that still felt liberating and true to us”, Harm says, adding that calling it a dance record not only felt like a u-turn but freed them from the boundaries and cliches of certain categories”.
