Baby-making music that ratchets up the sexual tension thanks to a beat that takes me back to early 2010s Drake.

The comeback song from the band formerly known as Micachu & The Shapes is an irony-charged alt-pop tune about optimism at the end of the world.

"Ultra" is the first new Evian Christ song in six years, and the Yeezus co-producer matches the stakes of his return. Synths strobe with the intensity of a pulsar across this perpetually building track of disintegrating rave.
