Us return with explosive new single ‘Man Ray’ ahead of sophomore album

Finnish indie outfit Us have unveiled their latest single ‘Man Ray’, the first taste of their upcoming second album Everyone’s Giving Up the Cabaret, set for release this summer.

Produced by Charlie Russell (Liam Gallagher, Alt-J, Kasabian), the track arrives as a fast-paced, high-intensity burst, shaped by themes of instability and uncertainty in today’s global climate. Originally conceived as a much longer piece, the song was stripped back into a sharp, two-minute release of energy.

Inspired by the work of artist Man Ray, the track draws parallels between past and present, reflecting on how creativity responds to turbulent times.

Us have built strong momentum through relentless touring, including shows with Electric Six and a notable support slot for The Libertines. Their debut album Underground Renaissance was recorded at the band’s Albion Rooms studio, helping cement their reputation as a powerful live act.
