MX LONELY

Alternative

In November 2020 Haas x Harms began collaborating with fellow Brooklyn multi-instrumentalists Gabe Garman and Chris Curtin to learn older songs, and quickly began writing new ones. What grew out of this chemistry was “Cadonia,” a seven track LP self engineered and mixed in an abandoned schoolhouse in upstate NY over a period of 6 days in July 2021. With a focus on capturing the live feeling of the band, the sound finds ice-cold keys combining with barn-burning guitars + anguished vocals cutting like glass over a massive rhythm section. The album released Sept. 12 2022 via Candlepin Records, and the band gigged steadily in Brooklyn & the surrounding areas, culminating in a full east coast tour from Maine to Florida over 2 weeks in May 2023. They also played the 2nd Annual Julias War Fest in April 2023. With drummer/engineer Jun Yang Ng added into the mix post album release to complete the live lineup, they have been lighting up stages large and small. The “SPIT” EP was written and recorded in a furious month of songwriting between the Nov 2022 and Dec 2022. The band ventured into a studio for the first time ever, at Virtue & Vice in Brooklyn, under the guidance of then drummer/engineer Jun Yang Ng. The “SPIT” instrumentals were laid down in 2 days and the vocals were tracked at the band’s studio in the Pfizer building over the next few months. “SPIT” finds the band baring teeth and starting to fully open up their sound. Where Cadonia was a cerebral journey, SPIT is a visceral antithesis, melding 90s grunge riffs with heavy shoegaze ice. Vocalist/synthmaster Rae Haas sings lead on a majority of the tracks on this outing, another departure from the heavily Harms-led Cadonia. Drummer Andy Rapp (Plight, My America Is Watching TIgers Die) joined the group in early 2024. MX has been on two semi-national tours in 2024, covering the eastern half of the US, with plans for a full national run in the fall.
