Sudan Archives – The BPM (Ruby Red Pressing)

Sudan Archives (Brittney Parks) makes a bold shift on The BPM, her third studio album, blending raw emotion with club‑ready energy. With influences from Detroit techno, Chicago house, Jersey club, and experimental beatwork, she builds a dance record that’s personal and futuristic.

Recorded in L.A., Detroit, and Chicago, the album features her “Gadget Girl” persona, a symbol of her tech-infused creativity and hyper-independence with themes of mental health, heartbreak, and identity run throughout the 15 tracks.

Musically, her iconic violin makes appearances but often steps back, making way for thumping beats, chopped vocals, and lush production that supports both introspective moments and euphoric highs.
