Drop Nineteens returned in November of 2023 with their LP Hard Light, which was their first new LP since 1992. Today the band are sharing a new single called “Fools,” which was mixed by Chris McLaughlin (Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige & Bon Iver), along with its accompanying video. Alongside the single, the band have shared the welcome news that they are back in the studio working on the follow up to Hard Light, with a new album anticipated in 2026.

Of the new single Drop Nineteens leader Greg Ackell says:

“”Fools” originated with some beautiful heavy chords Steve came up with. I think he was trying to trick me into bringing a bit more gaze than we have since Delaware. And it worked. It’s a snake let in under the door. And as snakes do, it coils into itself. More than writing it, this song happened to us. And so that’s what the subject of the song is about, itself.

Chris McLaughlin (Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé) totally understood all of this and delivered a searing mix that’s both metallic and oozing with warmth, which is not easy to achieve. We are ecstatic to have him and his bag of tricks on hand for the next album”.
