On May 13, M(h)aol will release their new album Something Soft, which will be out on Merge Records.

We’ve already heard three brilliant songs from it, and now the band continues their hot streak of singles with another new offering — “I Miss My Dog”. Clocking in under three minutes, it’s a short, raw, and gnarly slab of noise rock, soaked in distortion and industrial grime.

The track is released alongside a lovely, band-made video featuring crowd-sourced clips of fans’ pets. It is a touching homage to the dogs we’ve cherished, both those we’ve lost and those still by our side.

Check it out below and pre-order the LP here.

[song] M(h)aol – Therapy

Having teased us already with the punchy single “Asking For It”, Ireland’s five-piece M(h)aol share another stunning cut “Therapy”.

It is taken from the group’s upcoming and highly-anticipated album Attachment Styles, set for release on February 3, and described as a record about social connection, queerness and healing. It follows their acclaimed debut EP Gender Studies, released back in 2021.

Describing the new song, vocalist Róisín says: “I wanted to write Therapy as a light-hearted addition to the album, dealing with a very real subject matter. It came from a conversation I had with a friend who was talking about a loved one not turning up to therapy, even though they were why she was in therapy, and I was thinking about people in our lives who are the reason we go to therapy and how we can often heal in spite of them”.
