2 September 2026 — Torii House Phonograph Co. is celebrating a landmark moment for the label as consecutive visualizer premieres from Demitra Kalnina and Paris & Berlin have become the two biggest Week One visualizer launches in company history.
On August 23, Demitra Kalnina premiered "Peaches", the lead visualizer from her forthcoming album Twentynine Palms. One week later, on August 30, Paris & Berlin followed with "Berliner", the first visualizer from their debut album Extremity. Both premieres delivered unprecedented first-week engagement for the label, achieving the strongest back-to-back launch performance Torii House Phonograph Co. has ever recorded.
Both full-length albums are scheduled for release on October 1, marking one of the label's most anticipated release days to date.
Deluxe Edition of Extremity Revealed
Ahead of the October 1 release of Extremity, Paris & Berlin have also unveiled a deluxe CD edition titled:
Extrémité: Le Point le Plus Lointain
The expanded edition features the complete Extremity album under an exclusive variant art cover alongside three exclusive additional recordings. Two of these tracks see the duo reimagining songs from fellow Torii House artists through translation, reinterpretation, and stylistic transformation.
The deluxe edition includes:
"Free" - A brand-new original Paris & Berlin composition available exclusively on the deluxe release.
"L'Éternelle Dérive (Paris Version)" - A French-language reinterpretation performed by Paris Lombard, based on "Everlasting" by Kataya Bielová. Rather than a direct translation, the song reimagines the source material through Paris' own artistic perspective, transforming Kataya's meditation on motion, resilience, and identity into a distinctly Parisian expression.
"Schwarzer Schwan (Monika Version)" - A German-language reinterpretation performed by Monika Lehmann, based on "Black Swan" by Marjorie Valentine. The recording reworks one of Torii House's signature songs through Monika's voice and perspective, retaining the themes of fame, identity, and transformation while evolving them into a darker European art-pop form.
Unlike conventional translated covers, both recordings are presented as creative reinterpretations, with Paris and Monika reshaping the songs through new language, performance styles, and artistic identities.
With record-setting momentum behind "Peaches" and "Berliner," and the arrival of both Twentynine Palms and Extremity on October 1, Torii House Phonograph Co. enters the autumn season with its strongest wave of releases to date.
