1tbsp, the project of Maxwell Byrne recently announced his new album, big soaps, will drop on February 5, 2027. Ahead of the LP’s arrival, the artist has shared “Carottes” featuring miki. As well, 1tbsp has also announces North American tour dates for early 2027, with shows in New York City, Los Angeles and more.

“Carottes” began in Paris, where Byrne and the French artist miki had roughly two hours together before she left on tour. In that window, they wrote three songs, two of which appear on the album. “We really clicked instantly,” Byrne says. “miki has great taste.”

Part of that taste is an archive. miki collects small fragments of found audio and edits them in Ableton, and she handed a few to Byrne. “Carottes” started with one of her soundbites, which he chopped up to make the track’s main synth chords. Byrne was listening to a lot of Greek music at the time, and a 2007 album, Remastered 1 by Stereo Nova, became a reference point for the song.

“Carottes” is a raw, deadpan confessional about not knowing yourself, told through expired vegetables, a messy apartment, and a body that feels like a stranger’s. Sung in French with a Korean bridge, it turns the small humiliations of daily life into a tender reckoning with self-alienation and the slow work of self-forgiveness.
