Rumspringa is a studio album by American electronic music duo Ear. It was released on May 29, 2026, through A24 Music, the band's first under the label. The album is named after Rumspringa, an Amish rite of passage where youth are given the opportunity to remain in their community or leave.[2]
Critical reception
Rumspringa received positive reviews from critics. in a 7.3/10 review for Pitchfork, Samuel Hyland wrote that "at its most inventive, Rumspringa stretches with gleeful abandon, stringing together spare parts until they come alive", and described the band's vocals as "crisp but never quite confident".[3]
In a positive review for Rolling Stone, Jeff Ihaza described the songs as both "homesprung and futuristic", and praised the "restrained" style of production which allowed the duo to find "transcendence in the space between a bedroom and a rave".[1]
