MX LONELY

MX LONELY return with Perfect House, a four-song EP arriving October 2, 2026 via Julia's War Recordings. Where the Brooklyn band's debut album ALL MONSTERS looked outward at trauma, addiction, neurodivergence and self-doubt through the metaphor of monsters, the follow-up moves those tensions indoors: a collection of love letters about a house that looks beautiful and intact from the street while complicated emotions build beneath the surface.

The EP was assembled in MX LONELY's basement studio from demos the band had accumulated over its lifespan. Rather than rerecording the songs from scratch, Rae Haas, Jake Harms, Gabriel Garman and Andrew Rapp used those demos as skeletons, adding and subtracting parts as the arrangements took shape. Friends Caitlin Starr and Connor of Wiring also appear on the record, while the band used the process as an opportunity to treat its own room and recording setup as part of the music.

Lead single “March 16th (Feat. Caitlin Starr)” began as an instrumental during the sessions for ALL MONSTERS. Starr developed the hook during a later studio session, with Harms adding a weaving harmony and Haas contributing a counter-melody. The song expands into a cathartic, fuzz-heavy chorus, with its lyrics confronting the proximity and cyclical nature of violence.
