Houston-based band The Albinos announce their new album Enabilizer, out July 11 on P.U.G. Records. Alongside the announcement, they share the first single, “Baptized In Gold.”
Enabilizer is the second full-length album from The Albinos. It’s a focused and emotionally direct record that examines the space between belief and doubt—what it means to hold on to ideals in a world that often doesn’t reflect them. The songs explore themes of connection, disillusionment, and the fragile narratives people use to make sense of things.
Sonically, the album moves fluidly between stripped-down garage rock and layered psychedelic arrangements. Built on live, organic instrumentation and a minimal production approach, the sound is raw but intentional—combining driving rhythms, textured guitars, and unpolished vocal performances to create something that feels both grounded and expansive.
The first single, “Baptized In Gold,” offers a clear introduction to the album’s tone and direction. It’s a rhythm-heavy, high-energy track that combines melodic hooks with a sense of momentum and restraint. The song captures the contrast between admiration and unease—bright on the surface, but with something heavier underneath.
Formed in Houston, The Albinos have spent the past few years refining their sound, drawing on psych and garage traditions while keeping their songwriting emotionally grounded. Enabilizer marks a step forward for the band—more confident, more cohesive, and more willing to lean into discomfort in search of something honest.
