Newcastle prog/post-rock four-piece Dutch Elm have shared a new single titled “You’re Not Invited to That Riff,” taken from their upcoming self-titled debut album, set to be released on June 5 via Ripcord Records.
Speaking about this new track, the band comment: “On this track we return to our classic sound with patchwork, irregular guitar lines developing over an increasingly pushing and forceful rhythm section. ‘You’re Not Invited to That Riff’ sometimes felt like an uphill battle to write, with its choppy structure and directional changes, but once we had the underlying feel of the song, the boundaries felt endless. It’s chaotic, powerful and true to the Dutch Elm recipe. This track feels like an amalgamation of everything we have ever written, condensed into just over four minutes.”
If you missed it, listen to the two previous singles "Tell Him Not To Bother" and “Cats and That” at this location.
Blending intricate, pedal-driven guitars with a powerful and dynamic rhythm section, Dutch Elm operate in the space between post-rock and math-rock, balancing atmospheric restraint with explosive, cathartic release.

Formed in 2016, the band have steadily refined a sound built on layered guitar work, shifting time signatures, and a keen sense of dynamics, weaving moments of quiet tension with surging crescendos. Their compositions also incorporate subtle samples touching on environmental and political themes, adding depth and context to their instrumental framework. Dutch Elm‘s debut self-titled album is released on June 5 via Ripcord Records and pre-orders are now available at this location.
