CAPYAC drops new single Big CrUsh En3rgY

CAPYAC released “Big CrUsh En3rgY” on Sept. 10, extending the Berlin-Los Angeles trio’s run of funk-leaning singles after last year’s album Sobbing Ecstasy. The new track is out on streaming platforms and signals more live dates ahead for the band’s improvisation-heavy show.

Why it matters: - CAPYAC is leaning deeper into the emotional-funk sound that has defined its recent releases. - “Big CrUsh En3rgY” adds another streaming-era single to the band’s post-Sobbing Ecstasy rollout. - The release keeps CAPYAC in front of listeners ahead of more live shows.

What happened: - CAPYAC released “Big CrUsh En3rgY” on Wednesday, Sept. 10. - The single is available on streaming services and digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and Deezer. - The song was shaped across studios in Berlin and Los Angeles. - CAPYAC tied the track to experiences from touring internationally and building relationships in both cities.

The details: - The track blends indie soul, emotional funk and disco-leaning groove with an indie electronic base. - The song follows recent singles “Fly Forever,” “Opulence Machine” and “Rye Bread,” which highlighted French house, synth-pop and hip-house influences. - The arrangement includes guitar-led passages, jazzy textures, syncopated drums, funky synth bass and vocal moments from all three members. - Eric Peana’s lead vocal centers on the lyric about “big crush energy” while his guitar riff drives the track. - The production points to references such as Tom Misch, FKJ, Anderson .Paak and early Toro y Moi. - Peana said the song exists in roughly 10 versions on the band’s hard drive. - Peana also said the group experimented with live drums and that collaborator Harry Terrell recorded drums during a three-and-a-half-hour session. - Peana said another marathon session led Obie Puckett and Delwin Campbell to delete 90% of the parts and replace them with a different alternate version the band may release later. - The band performed the song on SoCal club dates and UK field festivals while the recording was still taking shape. - CAPYAC’s live shows are built around theatrics, improvisation and absurdity.

Between the lines: - CAPYAC is positioning the single as both a polished studio release and a preview of how the song can mutate onstage. - The band’s mix of heartfelt lyrics and chaotic funk keeps its identity distinct in the indie electronic lane. - The rollout suggests CAPYAC sees live performance as part of the songwriting process, not just promotion.

What's next: - CAPYAC listed upcoming NYC residency dates at Night Club 101 on Feb. 3, Feb. 10 and Feb. 17, 2026. - The band said more shows are inevitable after recent tours with Marc Rebillet, Rubblebucket and Magic City Hippies. - Listeners can find the song through the band’s website and the song smart link.

The bottom line: - CAPYAC’s latest single reinforces a formula the trio keeps refining: danceable funk, emotional lyrics and live-show unpredictability.
