US industrial project Gasoline Invertebrate released the single “Disaffect” via Ligerhawk Records on 7 August 2026. The digital track runs 3:19, the project’s first new release since the July 2026 EP “ALL CAPS ARE BASTARDS.”
“Disaffect” is a single track available as a digital streaming and download release, with downloads offered in MP3, FLAC and 24-bit/44.1kHz formats. The track moves between dark techno, EBM, industrial and goth. Gasoline Invertebrate is the recording name of Brian Graupner, who also records as The Gothsicles. The Bandcamp release page lists Gasoline Invertebrate as based in Tampa, Florida, while the project’s Facebook page lists a Knoxville, Tennessee location; the two sources have not been reconciled for this article.
