For more than a decade, Austin’s Street Sects have been making extreme, intense underground music about the depths of the human experience. The duo’s grinding industrial post-punk doesn’t seem to fit into any particular scene or movement. They’re a singular project, and they confront darkness and desperation in their own singular way. In recent years, Street Sects have been releasing music a song or two at a time, and they’ve slowed down with those releases lately. They haven’t come out with a new track since 2022’s “X Amount” or a full-length album since The Kicking Mule in 2018. But later this year, Street Sects will release two full-length albums on the same day — one under their own name and another under their new Street Sects alter-ego.
