MX LONELY are sharing their new EP, PERFECT HOUSE, the album is now available today via Julia’s War Recordings (TAGBOW). PERFECT HOUSE contains four tracks of reworked demos that capture the tension that comes along with trying to keep it together when you’re falling apart.

EP track “Twenty Seconds” is available now, of which Jake says, “I wrote ‘Twenty Seconds’ when I first moved to NYC in 2016. I was working as a postmate delivering food in Manhattan, feeling really detached and weird about the wealth divide in the city. I listened to ‘Public Strain’ by the band Women almost every day while I walked around, and got really inspired by the discordant guitar harmonies. ‘Twenty Seconds’ came out of my attempt to steal from that band, and then it got shelved for a long time. When we were going through songs to work on for the EP, I kept coming back to this demo because of how different and not “alt-rawk” centric it sounded, just a different side of what MX does. I also feel like I’ve been hearing so much of Women’s influence in bands lately – one of my favorite bands in Brooklyn, Wiring, does such a good job of incorporating that sound into their writing.”

“March 16th (Feat. Caitlin Starr)” heralded the announcement of the new EP with an official music video directed by go-to collaborator Owen Lehman. Reflecting on a complicated relationship with sugar rush highs and destructive lows, the band reckons with reality as they sing “We’ve been here before / We’ve gone alone / Now we’re back for more / I’m on my own.” “March 16th” explodes around its choruses, as harmonies reach total catharsis with vocals from Caitlin Starr. The video features an all-out party, complete with a black-and-white-clad mosh pit.
