KOOL FAITH / LOOSIES II is a sprawling 29-track mixtape from Philadelphia's They Are Gutting a Body of Water, arriving digitally October 16 and physically November 20 via ATO Records x Julia's War. Following 2025's LOTTO, the project pushes TAGABOW's world beyond the boundaries of a conventional album, bringing Doug Dulgarian's shoegaze, noise and electronic instincts into a deliberately chaotic mixtape format.

The collection pulls together a wide cast from the current underground, with appearances from SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, Hotline TNT, Full Body 2, haloplus+, Greg Mendez, DJ Manny, Horse Jumper of Love, Her New Knife, A Country Western, Total Wife, RXKNephew and others. Dulgarian has described the project as his version of the homemade and bootleg mixtape culture he grew up with—unexpected combinations, mashups and favorite artists colliding in one place.

Three tracks arrive with the announcement: “kool marder” featuring Cashier, “the rook” and “free willy.” The mixtape follows TAGABOW's 2024 swanlike (loosies 2020-2023) collection while expanding that loose, restless approach into something even larger and more collaborative.

They Are Gutting a Body of Water Announce KOOL FAITH / LOOSIES II, Share Three New Tracks

September 23, 2026

Philadelphia’s They Are Gutting a Body of Water have announced KOOL FAITH / LOOSIES II, a sprawling 29-track mixtape arriving October 16 digitally and November 20 physically via ATO Records x Julia’s War. Along with the announcement, TAGABOW have shared three new tracks: “kool marder” featuring Cashier, “the rook” and “free willy.”

The follow-up to 2025’s LOTTO takes the band’s already restless mix of shoegaze, noise and electronic experimentation even further into mixtape territory, pulling in a huge cast of collaborators including SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, Hotline TNT, Full Body 2, haloplus+, Greg Mendez, DJ Manny, Horse Jumper of Love, Her New Knife, A Country Western, Total Wife and more.

Doug Dulgarian says the idea grew out of the homemade and bootleg mixtape culture he remembers growing up with—local DJs throwing favorite artists together, remixing parts and creating unexpected combinations. That same anything-goes approach runs throughout KOOL FAITH / LOOSIES II, making it a loose, collaborative companion to TAGABOW’s more traditional studio records.

Listen to “kool marder,” “the rook” and “free willy” below. KOOL FAITH / LOOSIES II arrives digitally October 16, with the physical release following November 20.
