“END TO KNOWING YOU” transcends the boundaries of conventional love songs, delivering a poignant exploration of the dichotomy between desire and detachment. KÁRYYN’s sensual elegy navigates the complexities of a toxic yet unrelenting love, illustrating the ache of yearning to be connected while grappling with the fractures that time and circumstance impose. The lyrics weave a narrative of spiritual confession, mapping themes of magnetic attraction and horrific beauty through the lens of “erotic grief.” A mantra rings through the song: “I can let it go, I can let it go… but there is no end to knowing you.”
The accompanying video, produced by Black Dog Films, part of Ridley Scott’s esteemed production firm, showcases bold choreography by Supple Nam, featuring dancer Danni Spooner. This collaboration breathes life into KÁRYYN’s evocative sound, creating a visually arresting and immersive experience.
KÁRYYN describes her upcoming album as the culmination of years spent delving into existence, intimacy, and the essence of time. It’s a sonic exploration grounded in physics, revealing how these universal laws shape connection and self-awareness. “PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is about the forces that hold us, rearrange us, and pull us back together,” she asserts. The album promises to be a profound reflection on collapse and rebirth, marked by themes of clarity and courageous vulnerability.
Her earlier single, “COLLAPSE PHASE,” garnered significant acclaim, showcasing KÁRYYN’s unique sound that traverses the tension between sustain and decay. Describing the track as the “sonic threshold of confrontation and acceptance,” she invites listeners to resonate with the transformative energy that the album encapsulates.
With a team of innovative collaborators—ranging from James Ford to Hudson Mohawke—KÁRYYN has crafted a record that intersects diverse musical influences, from Armenian to Middle Eastern traditions. Infused with string arrangements and modular synths meticulously tuned to 432Hz, PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) emerges as a bold declaration of courage, connection, and the relentless pursuit of renewal. As KÁRYYN shares, “I went hunting for dark matter, and instead I found brilliance, light, and potential.”
PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is released on limited-edition white vinyl, CD and digital on 29 May 2026 via Mute. Pre-order the album HERE
