Comet Announces New EP ‘Quitter’ Out May 16th | “Opium” Video Single Out Now

Following her selection to Alternative Press‘s 25 of the Most Exciting Rising Artists to Watch in 2025 list, NYC alt-rock/nu-grunge artist Comet has just announced that her new EP Quitter will be out on May 16th. The announcement arrives alongside lead single “Opium” — out now with an accompanying Fiona Kane-directed (quannnic, Hotline TNT, Melody English) music video. Rooted in a snarling guitar riff, “Opium” is a raw, emotive outing punctuated by earnest existentialism (“If I never get out of here/Don’t think I’ll last the year”). The track marks the first glimpse into Comet‘s forthcoming EP, which is produced by Richard Orofino of Sex Week and follows her 2023 project Two-Winged.

On Quitter, Comet shares: “This EP is my side-step into the world of pop-rock. I’ve written a lot of heavy music, and this set of songs is my silver lining among the rubble. Being a ‘quitter’ means letting go of something you know wasn’t meant for you. So many people spend their whole lives appeasing others. More people should quit everything and live for themselves.”

Hailing from New York City, Comet first arrived on the scene in 2021, turning heads with songs like “Beauty Marks” and “Disappearing Act” and garnering comparisons to the likes of Kim Gordon, Courtney Love, and Fiona Apple for her gritty, commanding vocals and poignant songwriting. Following the release of the aforementioned Two-Winged, recent months have seen her provide direct support for Jazmin Bean, as well as urika’s bedroom at Perfectly Imperfect and You Missed It‘s February show (which also featured DJ sets from Chanel Beads and Quiet Light), in addition to her solo European tour last fall.
