MX LONELY SHARE NEW SINGLE “SHAPE OF AN ANGEL”
DEBUT ALBUM ARRIVES FEBRUARY 20, 2026 VIA JULIA’S WAR RECORDINGS – PRE-ORDER
SUPPORTING TAGABOW TONIGHT AT NEW YORK’S MARKET HOTEL WITH WINTER
New York band MX LONELY are excited to share “Shape Of An Angel”, a fiery new track from their upcoming debut album, ALL MONSTERS, out via Julia’s War Recordings on February 20, 2026. The new song explores the relationship between addiction, neurodivergence, and codependency, reflecting on destructive, all-consuming relationships through honest lyrics and a heavy hook. An official music video accompanies the track, directed and edited by Owen Lehman, featuring synthesist/vocalist Rae Haas in a wrestling match.
“When I was first diagnosed with ADHD, I was prescribed a hefty script of adderall and I fell in love…I developed a heavy dependency on these creamsicle colored miracle pills and ended up craving more and more – until it began to consume me. I was constantly chasing that first dose of euphoria; refusing to look inward, continuously convincing myself “a higher dose will fix my problems, make me more lovable, guide me toward my goals- god dammit these drugs will make me a better person,” explains Haas. “You find yourself out of love with somebody but still needing them. Constantly chasing what used to be.”
Last month, MX LONELY announced their debut record, previewing snarling confessions, ruminating guitars, and heavy hooks with “Big Hips” which reflects on the gender dysphoria of trans adolescence, trudging through angst-filled riffs and endlessly catchy lyrics. The song and nostalgia-inducing official music video were met with acclaim from tastemakers like FLOOD Magazine, Chasing Sundays, and Stereogum, with the latter saying, “Lead single ‘Big Hips’ is a seasick churn. The verses sound like the kind of indie rock that we used to call ‘angular’ in the ’90s. The chorus explodes into a full-on fuzz-rift eruption, with Haas screaming about having big hips for a boy.”
Last month saw the band’s first release since last year’s single “Beauty Lasts for Never” and 2024’s SPIT EP, marking a new era for MX LONELY and their unrelenting sound. Coalescing emotion with hard-edged riffs and anchoring bass lines, SPIT was praised by Alternative Press, Brooklyn Vegan, The FADER, and more.
Known for their memorable live performances, MX LONELY have built a following within the New York scene and toured with contemporaries like The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, Trauma Ray, Cryogeyser and Midrift. Tonight, they’ll open for TAGABOW at Market Hotel in New York with Winter. More shows will be announced soon.
