John Summit Announces CTRL ESCAPE, New Album Coming April 15

John Summit has announced CTRL ESCAPE, his second full-length album. The project will be released on April 15, via his Experts Only label in partnership with Darkroom Records.

The announcement came during a surprise pop-up performance at Re:frame Studios in Los Angeles.

The release is described as building on the duality explored in Summit's 2024 debut Comfort in Chaos, focusing on the clash between nine-to-five monotony and the rush of the rave.

The lead single, LIGHTS GO OUT, arrived ahead of the album with a music video inspired by Summit’s accounting days.

A new single from CTRL ESCAPE will be issued on a biweekly cadence ahead of the full release, and fans can pre-save the album.
