Bayonne’s Filters: An Austin Guide to Roger Sellers’ New Album

Release

Release date

Friday, September 4, 2026

Album

10 songs · 20 minutes · Nettwerk

Nettwerk’s official announcement names September 4 as the release date for Filters. Apple Music currently lists the album as a 10-song, 20-minute prerelease and credits Bayonne under exclusive license to Nettwerk Music Group.

The concise running time is notable for an artist known for dense layers and patient builds. Rather than measuring the album by scale, begin with its sequence: the titles move from surprise and repair through range, breath, solitude and reassurance.

Artist

Who is Bayonne?

Austin artist

Roger Sellers · multi-instrumentalist · songwriter · beatmaker

Bayonne is the experimental-music project of Austin multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and beatmaker Roger Sellers. KUTX identifies him as a local artist whose music is assembled through looping, layering and overdubbing rather than a conventional front-person-and-band setup.

That process gives the work a useful dual identity: electronic in its repetition and accumulation, but physical in the percussion, piano and other played elements that feed the loops. Filters follows 2023’s Temporary Time and continues Sellers’ interest in making large spaces from small recorded details.

Release

Start with “Oxygen”

Listening key

Creative anxiety · self-belief · forward motion

“Oxygen” is the clearest doorway into the album’s emotional question. Sellers has described the song as an internal conversation about believing in himself again after finding it difficult to re-enter the headspace where he makes music.

That context turns the track’s brightness into more than atmosphere. Listen for the tension between forward-moving rhythm and the uncertainty underneath it: the arrangement does not wait for confidence to arrive before it starts moving.

Advance tracks

Multiphase · January · Oxygen · Gamut

Bayonne’s official site collects videos for four Filters songs: “Multiphase,” “January,” “Oxygen” and “Gamut.” Played in that release-era group, they outline the record’s vocabulary before the full sequence arrives—layered percussion, glowing synth color, repeated figures and vocals that stay intimate inside a much wider mix.

“Gamut” supplies another clue to the album’s perspective. Sellers has connected it to the complexity of the world and the feeling of being an outsider trying to locate a place within it. Where “Oxygen” focuses on re-entering the creative process, “Gamut” expands that uncertainty outward.

The 10-song sequence

Arc

Unexpected → Everything’s Alright

Filters opens with “Unexpected,” then runs through “Good Enough,” “Remedies,” “Gamut,” “Multiphase,” “Oxygen,” “Forget,” “Alone for Now,” “January” and “Everything’s Alright.” Apple Music verifies the release date, song count and running time; the published sequence is also reflected in the current prerelease catalog.

For a first listen, resist shuffling. The titles form a compact progression from disruption to repair, and the four familiar singles sit in the middle rather than at the beginning or end. That placement makes them connective tissue inside the album instead of a separate promotional block.

Guide

What Austin musicians can take from Filters

Studio lesson

Small sounds · strong sequence · honest creative stakes

Filters offers a practical production reminder: complexity does not require a long tracklist or a crowded arrangement at every moment. A repeated gesture can gain scale through timbre, placement and accumulation, while a short sequence can still carry a complete emotional arc.

The larger lesson is to let the obstacle become material. Sellers did not hide the difficulty of returning to music; he gave that internal conversation a song and built the album’s public entry point around it. Austin artists developing their own releases can find local recording rooms and collaborators through Trackside’s directory and talent guides.
