Rising genre-blurring outfit 2ŁØT return with “Tread,” the latest single from their forthcoming album RE/SOLVE, set for release July 31. Following the introspective “Favorite Star” and the emotionally charged “Come Together,” the new track offers a deeper glimpse into the band’s evolving sonic identity—one rooted in nuance, restraint, and immersive storytelling.
Built around a rolling groove and jazz-leaning instrumentation, “Tread” unfolds with a quiet confidence. Featuring contributions from Ben Bohorquez of Funky Knuckles on flute and Evan Weiss—also of Funky Knuckles and The Polyphonic Spree—on trumpet, the track leans into fluid interplay and tonal depth rather than rigid structure. It’s a composition that prioritizes feel over form, drawing listeners inward through subtle shifts and layered textures.
There’s a deliberate sense of restraint at the core of “Tread,” where space becomes just as vital as sound. The result is an experience that feels both meditative and kinetic—capturing 2ŁØT’s ability to build momentum without excess and sustain tension without resolution.
As part of the broader arc of RE/SOLVE, the track contributes to what the band describes as a “Second Hero’s Journey.” Where their debut Entropy confronted chaos head-on, the new project turns inward, exploring identity, transition, and the quieter work that follows survival. Vocalist Rudy Love Jr. explains, “The aim is to mythologize the cyclical process of self-reflection, transformation, and self-actualization through a Campbellian archetypal lens. The songs are specifically written and ordered to tell a story that takes the listener on this adventure with us.”
Together with its predecessors, “Tread” helps define the emotional and sonic landscape of RE/SOLVE—a record that feels more cohesive, patient, and grounded in perspective.
The release arrives amid a steady rise for 2ŁØT, who have expanded their reach through collaborations with artists like Aloe Blacc, Steve Aoki, Paul Oakenfold, and Albert Harvey, while earning placements on dance charts with multiple releases. Their dynamic live show—blending improvisation with cinematic visuals—has taken them to stages including Treefort Music Fest and venues like The Peppermint Club, reinforcing their reputation as a band that seamlessly bridges genres and environments.
With RE/SOLVE, 2ŁØT double down on a fully realized album statement—expanding their Electronic Jam Music foundation into more refined, immersive territory. As they continue previewing the project through upcoming performances and festival appearances, “Tread” stands as a compelling marker of what’s still to come.
