Chicago songwriter and vocalist Sacha Mullin has announced his fourth solo album, Social Touch, due 19 October via Dipterid Records. The psychedelic-leaning art-pop record was produced, recorded and mixed by William Parker Wood at Superior Street in Chicago across 2025, with Mullin and Wood co-arranging the eight songs. Legendary vocalist Emily Bindiger contributes backing vocals on the opening single Hypocenter, released in September on a limited 7" backed with a cover of Alexz Johnson's Voodoo. The second single, Bed All Day, premieres today via Psychedelic Baby Magazine; Mullin describes it as a plea for directness in a relationship that keeps circling the same ground, set to a bubbly pop veneer with a melodic nod to Martha and the Muffins' Swimming. Social Touch follows 2023's Casino Wilderness Period and moves further toward immediate, cinematic art-pop without sacrificing Mullin's remarkable vocal range and rhythmic complexity. Pre-orders for vinyl (Iridescent White-Blue), CD and digital are open at Bandcamp.
