Australia’s genre-hopping five-piece Windwaker have officially clocked back in for 2026, and they’ve brought a friend. The band — Liam Guinane (vocals), Justin Keurntjes (guitar), Indey Salvestro (bass), Chris Lalic (drums), and Connor Robins (synths/samples) — just dropped “click.,” a spring-loaded new single featuring Aussie-based Filipino alt-pop star RinRin, and it sounds like your phone plotting against you.

Lyrically, “click.” takes aim at the bargain so many of us have quietly signed off on: trading privacy for notoriety and trading attention for, well, more attention. Sonically, it’s a hard drive come to life — blips, beeps, and industrial-leaning samples rubbing shoulders with chaotic riffs and the kind of chorus that lodges itself in your frontal lobe on contact. RinRin’s guest vocal doesn’t just decorate the track; it kicks the door in and hammers the point home.

“It’s about the digital world we’re living in, where the lowest moments for individuals and our society are uploaded and televised for profit and entertainment at the cost of our own security,” the band explains. “People have willingly given up their privacy for fame. It’s become normalized and we’ve become so desensitized by it that you question the world around us and whether anyone is real anymore or if they’ve got a mask on.”

The collaboration with RinRin came together fast — and felt right. “When we finished the last record, we were really excited about the idea of collaborating with other artists on our new music since we’d never done that before,” Windwaker share. “RinRin made the most sense to us as someone who has worked with Chris for years. We took a couple days in the studio with her as an experiment to see what could come out of it and once the concept and the chorus had formed, the rest came together effortlessly.”

RinRin agrees, calling it “definitely one of the coolest collabs I’ve ever done.” She adds, “‘click.’ feels relevant. Everyone’s a walking camera with their tech now and it’s, like, crazy how much it’s becoming our new norm.”

The timing couldn’t be sharper. Windwaker are about to hit North America for their first-ever U.S. headline run, dubbed “The Hounds of the Underground,” with If Not for Me and Colorblind along for the ride. The trek kicks off May 10 in Chapel Hill, NC and winds through 22+ cities before wrapping June 8 in Boston. They’ll also stop in Columbus, OH on May 14 for a main-stage-worthy appearance at Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival.

“click.” arrives on the heels of 2024’s HYPERVIOLENCE (Fearless Records) and its 2025 HYPERVIOLENCE EXPANSION PACK deluxe edition, which tacked on three new tracks and a handful of surprises. Between a breakout support run with Northlane, a festival slot at Sonic Temple, and now a full-scale headline tour, the Aussie crew’s trajectory is pointing straight up — and if “click.” is any indication, they’ve still got plenty of rounds in the chamber.
