The bruise of the truth fuels Mx Lonely’s newest release Shape Of An Angel. This brand new track is a blistering collision of post-punk tension, shoegaze density, and grunge-tinged catharsis. The New York band holds nothing back as they unravel the tangled threads of addiction, neurodivergence, and longing. Paired with a visceral music video placing Rae Haas in a symbolic wrestling match, the single shapes their heaviest themes into a hook that detonates on impact. The song’s emotional core comes straight from lived experience. Describing the dependency which inspired the track, Haas shares:
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 .You find yourself out of love with somebody but still needing them. Constantly chasing what used to be.
Their candid reflection becomes the engine of “Shape Of An Angel,” echoing the chaos of chasing a feeling that once felt like salvation. That raw narrative meets the band’s signature sonic force of serrated riffs, eruptive drums, and a gripping vocal performance which lingers long after the chorus fades. The track marks a defining moment leading into their debut album ALL MONSTERS, arriving February 20. Mx Lonely continues carving out space in the alt-rock landscape with their live reputation only amplifing the momentum. Tonight the band supports TAGABOW at New York’s Market Hotel with Winter, Watch the official video, stream the "Shape Of An Angel," and connect with MxLonely on YOUTUBE, and INSTAGRAM.
