Strange Lot today have announced their debut self-titled LP, due out August 14th via Greenway Records. The announcement is paired with the release of the video for lead single “Nobody Seems To Do The Math.”

The Austin band is currently on a North American tour supporting Melody’s Echo Chamber, with dates including NYC’s Webster Hall (5/15), LA’s The Belasco (5/19). “The song came together in a single day, start to finish, and centers on how quick we are to assume we understand the full picture before it’s actually revealed,” the band explains. “The song sees Dominic leaning into synth textures and shoegaze-driven, fuzzed-out guitars.”

In 2022, Dominic Mena found himself without a band, coming close to walking away from Strange Lot entirely. Instead of ending the project, he returned to its roots, recording alone and rebuilding from the ground up. The intention was clear: move beyond the familiar lane of psych’s 90’s revival and create something that felt missing. The result was a deliberate fusion of strong, driving rhythms, fuzzed-out psych guitars, crunchy synth textures, and hazy, shoegaze-leaning atmospheres.

Over the course of a month, Dominic wrote and recorded nearly 30 demos, what would later become the record. He shared the material with Alex Maas, who described the approach as “fresh” and stepped in to produce. The two spent the next year developing the album, with Dominic recording all material and Alex guiding the direction and helping refine the sound. As the project moved into mixing, Jim Eno (Spoon) was brought in to mix key tracks including “5AM,” “Timeline Drops,” “Hatin’ You,” and “Always Alone,” focusing on clarity, impact, and precision.
