The Melbourne artist who refused to pick a lane is back. Ecca Vandal, the South African‑born, Sri Lankan‑Tamil singer, rapper and producer who arrived with a thunderous, self‑titled debut in 2017, went quiet for nearly a decade. She did not vanish. She retreated to a childhood bedroom in bayside Melbourne, where she and bassist‑producer Richie Buxton built a tiny home studio with a painfully slow internet connection. The room became their universe. Nine years of industry noise, algorithm chasing and external pressure fell away. What emerged is “LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW,” her second album, released May 22, 2026, via Loma Vista Recordings. The 17‑track record is a subtraction exercise: cut everything that drains your energy, distort your vision or demands that you stay visible online.
“VERTICAL WORLDS” is the album’s fourth track and its most dizzying moment. The song runs three minutes. It begins with a single, hypnotic word: “Spinning.” Ecca repeats the phrase over a pulsing electronic beat, her voice layering on top of itself until the sound becomes a swarm. The production, co‑helmed by Vandal and Buxton in that same bedroom, builds from a tight, minimal pulse into a ramshackle explosion of distortion. By the final minute, the track rattles, bounces and scrapes against its own edges. It is not a song that asks for permission. It is a song that occupies space and refuses to leave. Ecca has described the album as being about “subtraction.” “VERTICAL WORLDS” is the sound of that subtraction becoming motion.

The official music video, premiered on May 20, 2026, on Ecca’s official YouTube channel, matches the track’s chaotic energy. The clip is a disorienting, fast‑cut barrage of images: Ecca performing in a claustrophobic room, her face warping, the camera spinning and flipping. There is no narrative. There is no release. The video ends as abruptly as it begins, leaving the viewer caught in the same loop as the song. No behind‑the‑scenes footage or director’s cut has been released. The visual arrived days after Ecca made her Coachella debut and just before a packed summer of festival dates, including Pinkpop and Rock Werchter. She will also tour North America in the fall, with stops at Lollapalooza and Osheaga.
