Los Angeles dream-pop duo Ruby Haunt have shared "Big Room," the first single and video from their forthcoming eleventh album, Paper Halo, out September 16, 2026.
A meditation on longing and repetition, "Big Room" pairs a bigger, more immediate sound with the hushed, nocturnal atmosphere Wyatt Ininns and Victor Pakpour have built across a decade of self-released records. The song circles a plea for rescue — returning to Eden as both shelter and impossible destination — with a central image of a forest burned down and rebuilt again and again. Its video stages the track as a strange romance along a darkened highway, from the neon unease of Lost Highway to a motorcycle ride through a time-bending tunnel and into a neon city somewhere in Asia.
Fans of Beach House, Nation of Language, Black Marble, and The Radio Dept. will recognize the balance of cool restraint and bruised feeling. "Big Room" opens the Paper Halo cycle ahead of West Coast dates, a Mexico City show, and a 2027 European tour. Watch the video and listen below.
