Read for in depth interview, information on what’s to come, a live performance of Way Way Back, and newly published photographs!
Technically, AJ is referring to the sisters’ next album when she says this—the as-yet-unnamed record they just recorded in a five-day sprint at Los Angeles’s Sunset Sound—but the line fits here too well to ignore. “That’s the goal,” she says, “more intimate, more intimate, more intimate.”
“More intimate” has become something of a maxim for the sisters as the musical project they started almost two decades ago continues to evolve. And it takes a certain bravery, especially for two people who experienced commercial success so young. Both Aly and AJ spun their child stardom into acting careers, but they were slower to return to music, stalling out for a while after a break with an early record label. Then, in 2017, their Ten Years E.P. brought them careening back onto the scene, and they’ve kept up their momentum ever since, all while hewing closer and closer to what feels authentic. They’ve experimented, taking their sound in a darker, dance-pop direction, then relaxing it into something more country-adjacent. With every release, they feel more like themselves.
“We didn’t always have complete and total freedom in what we wanted to do,” Aly says. “Now that we have that, all bets are off.”
We are thrilled to announce we will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Valentine’s Day, February 14th.

Aly & AJ have released their newest single, Attack of Panic.
Vanity Fair has premiered the new Aly & AJ video for Attack of Panic, saying,
“Shooting on film gives the video a grainy quality that feels heavier than digital might. Parts are half-lit or backlit, and other parts are overlaid with a red wash that recalls the mindfuck final scene in 2018’s Suspiria (also, coincidentally, set in Berlin). Their voices float in the background, airy and spooky in a minor key, set against a deep techno beat. A clamoring synthesizer comes in at the chorus, a little like church bells, but in Mordor. It feels, roughly, like a panic attack.
The Suspiria and Shining interpretations are mine, but “Attack of Panic” does have cinematic roots. Just before writing it, Aly and AJ watched 1986’s Labyrinth for the first time back-to-back with Return to Oz, which was made the year prior. AJ describes both movies as “bizarre, psychedelic,” Aly as “terrifying,” but both were in awe of the “weird ’80s electronic” scores. While they and their collaborators—CJ Baran and Ben Romans, whom they met backstage at a Carly Rae Jepsen concert—wrote “Attack of Panic,” they played scenes from Labyrinth on loop in the background, hoping that the song’s production would “hold up to a montage of Jennifer Connelly running around a party and David Bowie trying to chase her,” AJ said. “And it did.” Both sisters urged me to play the ball scene from Labyrinth on mute, with “Attack of Panic” running over the top. I did, and my brain exploded. The two synced up perfectly.”

Aly and AJ have written an Op-Ed on Mental Health for PAPER Mag. Read it here.
The year is 2019 and Aly & AJ are officially an ever greater force to be reckoned with. At first glance, many would assume that the sister duo is still riding the “Potential Breakup Song” wave, but now that they’re fully grown adults they have way more important things to sing about like fighting for equality, overcoming struggles, seeking redemption, maintaining health relationships, and staying true to yourself.
Who knew that sinning could look so chic? Aly & AJ seek redemption in a big, empty house filmed with vintage-looking filters in the new video for their hooky single “Church.”
The clip, directed by Alex Ross Perry, showcases the Michalka sisters moving fluidly throughout, donning an array of coordinated, fashion-forward looks. The song’s lyrics “I need a little church” highlight the moments in life where, despite all manner of searching, you can’t find yourself amid nightclub strobe lights, in a lover’s bed, or after the last sip of a bottle. But in the song’s soothing electronic production, Aly & AJ propose that there’s a remedy for all the versions of you that exist. For the video, they embody these multiplicities through fashion, offering a little something for everyone: latex and/or vinyl for the unrepentant sex kitten in you; clean lines and red lips for the business bitch in you; and when you really need to get honest and lay it all bare, there’s nudity.
Aly & AJ’s video for Church has been spotlighted over at IndieWire:
‘Now that “Her Smell” is in theaters, Alex Ross Perry has moved on to his next musical venture: the video for Aly & AJ’s “Church.” The new single from the sibling duo’s forthcoming album “Sanctuary” marks Perry’s second collaboration with the sisters, the first being the video for 2017’s “Take Me.” Shot on 16mm at the Mayan Revival Samuel-Novarro House in Los Angeles’ Loz Feliz neighborhood, it isn’t the last time Perry will collaborate with Aly & AJ — they’ll next work together on the visuals for an upcoming single from “Sanctuary.” That project will take place in New York to “spotlight the contrasts between the two coasts.”‘
The Church music video directed by Alex Ross Perry has arrived.
The FADER writes: “Aly & AJ still make damn good pop music. When they returned last year with their first project in over a decade, it felt less like a comeback but rather a full arrival. The same can be said about their new single “Church,” which dropped a few weeks back: the hooks are as undeniably huge as anything the Michalka sisters have offered throughout their career, but the music feels decidedly more opinionated and lived-in.
Perhaps the most seismic shift in the new material comes from the context surrounding it. It goes without saying that we’re living in a totally different world than when “Potential Breakup Song” hit airwaves in 2007. Landmarks are burning, ice caps are melting, hopelessness is in abundance. Faced with a revolving door of hedonistic coping mechanisms, Aly & AJ’s’ proposal is a simple one: in a world that continues to rob us of sacred spaces, maybe we just have to make them for ourselves.
In their gorgeous new video for “Church,” debuting today, that space is the Samuel-Novarro residence, Lloyd Wright’s 1928 art deco masterpiece that’s housed 90 years of Hollywood mystique. They enlisted Her Smell director Alex Ross Perry to capture what he describes as an ‘uneasy feeling of creeping west coast voyeurism.’ “
We are very happy to announce that Armors and Jena Rose
will be joining the Sanctuary Tour as special guests.
Aly & AJ will release their next single ‘Church’ on March 29th.

“The new song is cool and soothing, with satiny echoes and ’80s-inspired synths reminiscent of M83.”
-Spin Magazine
“In their time off, the duo learned to hit the metaphorical nail on the head of pop, grasping the perfect balance of dreamy retro-vibes with powerful vocals.”
-Billboard
“‘I Know’ is the perfect pick-me-up song for those hard times in your life.”
-MTV
Matthew Dear’s remix of Take Me is available now here.
“Aly & AJ return with the Matthew Dear‘s remix of “Take Me,” their first new track in 10 years. The futuristic sounding piece showcases intriguing harmonic progressions as well as a striking bass line. With nostalgic vocals…, “Take Me” combines the new with the old in an alluring, tasteful style.
Matthew Dear is known for his signature mellow, yet energy infused sound. With tracks such as “Bad Ones” featuring Tegan and Sara, the United States native cultivates an indie electronic collection of pieces that flaunt a new wave of creative production. With his latest remix, Matthew Dear brings his own flavor to the table, a refreshing taste that still maintains a vintage feel.”
Aly & AJ have delivered the bewitching visuals for the Take Me music video, crafted by visionary director and screenwriter Alex Ross Perry (Listen Up Phillip, Queen of Earth), with cinematography from the talented Sean Price Williams (Good Time). With the streets of Los Angeles as the backdrop, the video features appearances from actresses Amanda Crew (Silicon Valley) and Madeline Zima (Twin Peaks), and actor Josh Pence (La La Land) who fall prey to the musical duo’s blood lust.
The sisters added, “Staged and paced by Alex Ross Perry (director) and Sean Price Williams (cinematographer) in a midcentury home at odds with vampiric life, both pushed the video into the genre territory of our 80’s dreams as funneled through the minds of Chris Horan (stylist) and Elissa Ruminer (hair and makeup) with inspiration and armor from the clothing of Harris Reed.”
Director Alex Ross Perry shares the story behind the visuals for “Take Me”, noting – “When Aly&AJ reached out to me, blind, on Instagram, I assumed there had been some mistake. Nobody I had ever met before could possibly want to work with Sean Price Williams and myself badly enough that they would fly us to Los Angeles and agree with our insane idea to shoot a music video on standard 16mm film. Turns out, this was just a sign of their collaborative nature and the beginning of a process that creatively volleyed back and forth, much like my back and forth flights across the country.”
He continues – “The opportunity to shoot in Los Angeles for the first time, in a wonderful location that I could never dream of having access to (and just up the road from the house where Sharon Tate was murdered) was one I couldn’t imagine passing up. Shooting a vampire themed video is difficult for somebody like myself who ceases to function after eleven p.m. but the enthusiasm and positivity of Aly & AJ motivated the entire crew and resulted in a video full of images I am incredibly proud of.”
Watch Aly & AJ revisit one of their most popular songs while also previewing their forthcoming EP, Ten Years.
“Take Me”, the first single off the Ten Years EP, is available now here.
