PIXEL GRIP

PIXEL GRIP

Pixel Grip is a Chicago electronic music group made up of Jonathon Freund, Rita Lukea and Tyler Ommen. Their sound combines dark wave, EBM, electronic music, minimal techno, pop and synth-pop, with industrial elements and a strong pop sensibility. The trio builds songs around brooding bass, polished synthesizers and Lukea’s vocal delivery, creating music that mixes confrontation with dancefloor appeal.

Releases and musical themes

The group’s third album, Percepticide: The Death of Reality, is a dark and emotionally direct record shaped by trauma, anger and renewal. It follows a period of near-breakup and creative reunion, and reflects those tensions in its subject matter and atmosphere. Their work often combines heavy electronic textures with melodic writing and themes of intensity, self-expression and transformation.

They also support acts including HEALTH.
