The Mexican indie artist Alexy Trip packs guilt, lies, desire, and devotion into a 2026 synthpop LP with a shadowy pulse.
“Sins Lies And Devotion” hits like a late-night message you should probably ignore, but you still read twice.
Alexy Trip, a Mexican indie artist working in the darker corners of electronic music, has built a full-length album that runs on guilt, desire, and that strange feeling of dancing with a bad decision in your pocket.
It is moody, stylish, and restless without begging for attention.
The album arrived in 2026 with nine songs and a total runtime of 38 minutes and 31 seconds. The official album playlist lists SINS, ANGEL OF NIGHT, HERE COMES THE RAIN, KETAMINE, LIES, HARD TO SAY GOODBYE, DEVOTION, LOVE AND CARING, and IN MY DARKNESS, a track list that reads like someone turned a private diary into a dark club set.
Alexy Trip is placed in the orbit of darkwave, 80s synthpop, and classic New Wave, with analogue synthesizers and cinematic textures at the center.
That combination gives the album its bite. The synths do not shine like clean chrome. They flicker, pulse, and press against the beat. The drums keep the body involved, but the mood keeps the mind busy.
This is the sweet spot where Depeche Mode’s dramatic weight, Boy Harsher’s icy club pressure, and New Order’s bittersweet motion can all be felt without turning Alexy Trip into a copy of his influences.
The record knows how to move, but it also knows how to brood.
DEVOTION gives a good clue to the album’s engine. Shazam lists the song as electronic, released on April 24, 2026 as part of SINS LIES AND DEVOTION, with a tempo of 134 BPM and Alejandro Arteaga credited as songwriter.
That speed matters because it puts the track in motion, closer to the dance floor than the bedroom, yet the emotional tone still feels heavy.
It is not about escape as much as release, the kind you feel in your shoulders when the bass finally lands.
The focus tracks, SINS and LIES, are the names that grab first, and for good reason. SINS opens the playlist at 3 minutes and 33 seconds, setting up the record’s appetite for confession.
LIES arrives later with 4 minutes and 29 seconds of extra room to stretch the tension. The titles are simple, almost blunt, but that bluntness works. In a culture where people curate every post until even sadness has good lighting, Alexy Trip’s direct language feels refreshingly severe.
No soft filter, no fake grin, no neat little moral exit.
There is also a strong playlist argument here. “Sins Lies And Devotion” has the right DNA for darkwave playlists, synthpop revival sets, alternative electronic radio, and late-night DJ transitions that need drama without chaos.

The album has already picked up support from independent radio stations and curators in Germany, Poland, France, and Canada, according to the press release, which makes sense.
This music travels well because its feelings are easy to recognize, even when the production stays cold at the edges.
The album’s most satisfying move is its control. Alexy Trip does not overpack the frame. He lets analogue tones, repeating pulses, and shadowy melodies do the work.
If future releases push the vocal presence or lyrical sharpness even harder, the emotional payoff could hit with greater force. Even now, though, “Sins Lies And Devotion” has a clear identity: dark, sleek, bruised, and strangely magnetic.
For listeners searching for Mexican darkwave, 2026 synthpop, or New Wave-inspired electronic music with real mood, Alexy Trip has made a record worth keeping close after midnight.
Press play once, and the second listen starts making its case before you have fully left the first.
