Fcukers announce debut album ‘Ö’, produced by Kenneth Blume (FKA KENNY BEATS), out march 27th on Ninja Tune, & share new single and video “L.U.C.K.Y”.

Fcukers are set to release their debut album ‘Ö’ on March 27th on Ninja Tune. Produced by Kenneth Blume (FKA Kenny Beats) – recorded last year in a whirlwind two-week studio session following an initial prospective meeting between the trio – the record has been mixed by multi-Grammy-winning engineer Tom Norris (Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, The Weeknd and many more), with additional production coming from Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs across four of the album’s tracks.

They are announcing their debut album ‘Ö’, and sharing the new single “L.U.C.K.Y” and official video directed by Shanny Wise.

Fcukers’ explosive ascendance began downtown in New York City and continues to grow there today. In a fast-track three years spent amassing millions of streams, playing Glastonbury, Primavera, Lollapalooza, Coachella and in arenas supporting LCD Soundsystem, Tame Impala, and Dom Dolla, they have received recognition from the likes of Beck, Billie Eillish, and Zane Lowe, while earning spots on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Future Artist of the Month’.

Named by BBC Radio 1 as their ‘Future Artist of the Month’, BBC 6 Music’s ‘New Music Fix Daily Next Up’, and Spotify in their ‘Artist to Watch’ programme; 'Ö’ finds Fcukers in full-throttle mode, encapsulating the unruly energy that has earned them status as New York’s go-to party starters.

It contains recent breakout singles “Play Me”, and “I Like It Like That” – the latter already proving a firm live-favourite at their riotous headline shows – and guides the listener through all the highs and lows of a metaphorical night-out in Fcukers world. Sharp, muscular and oozing with the kind of peak-time party energy that the duo have honed throughout their short existence, ‘Ö’ demonstrates a band firmly in command of their sound, working at the top of their game, and ready to set the pace for 2026.

The record is announced today alongside new single “L.U.C.K.Y”, and a slew of headline tour dates across North America, with additional global touring to be announced later this year. After playing over 100 shows around the world this past year, the duo will also be taking the stage at NYC’s Governor’s Ball in June alongside A$AP ROCKY and Lorde.

The announcement follows a run of major live shows, including US arena dates with Tame Impala, earning multiple glowing shout-outs from Kevin Parker, and a backstage visit from Billie Eilish, and an Australian tour tour which included a huge stadium show with Dom Dolla. The band also sold-out their own headline shows in NYC and LA (which included a surprise on-stage appearance from Beck), and a run of rowdy packed-out shows across the UK and Europe, including three consecutive sold-out nights in London that had thousands of fans on the waiting-list.

The arrival of debut album ‘Ö’ marks just the latest high-point in a wild journey for the duo, made up of Shanny Wise (vocals) and Jackson Walker Lewis (bass, keys, production). Already one of the most talked-about new artists when they released their 2024 EP ‘Baggy$$’ – with singles like “Bon Bon” and “Homie Don’t Shake” in contention for numerous ‘Song of the Summer’ accolades, the band have been lauded by the likes of Zane Lowe, Rolling Stone, New York Times, Pitchfork, and many more.

They’ve gone from playing their first live show at the 200-cap Baby’s All Right in 2023 to playing to over 2,000 people in NYC in a single night; opening for LCD Soundsystem as part of their huge 12-night NYC residency at Knockdown Center (with David Bryne coming backstage to meet the band after their set); supporting HAIM at the 20k-capacity Madison Square Gardens, Justice at Red Rocks, and Disclosure and Confidence Man on their respective tours; and maintaining an incredible festival run, playing packed-out sets at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury (a nationally televised set on the BBC), Primavera Sound (Barcelona and Porto - and one of the only acts invited to return in 2026), Outside Lands, Portola and many, many more.

The band have also been asked to soundtrack parties by Celine – where they were handpicked by Hedi Slimane – the opening of Louis Vuitton’s '100 years in NYC' store in Manhattan (alongside Mike D of Beastie Boys), DJ’ing Charli XCX’s private Coachella afterparty and more recently the official Caught Steeling afterparty, which had notable attendees dancing on the couches into the early hours.
