After a longer hiatus and over three years after her successful album „Still Dark Sky“, NEW HAUNTS is finally back with her brand new album „Hooks“ „When are you caught on the hook? When are you let off it? Is obsession a strength or a weakness? How much power does art hold? When does comfort become apathy? Hooks deals with discomfort and beauty, peace and violence, heaviness and nothingness. I want it to draw in the listener with a melody, a beat, an ambience, and suspend them in a song. My favorite music is both brutally honest and an escape, and I want Hooks to offer both.“
Bristol-based New Haunts uses an arresting vocal and a hypnotic rush of synth-laden coldwave to contrast the jarring with the serene. With a fiercely intense live performance, she has supported artists such as Kaelan Mikla, Whispering Sons, and Double Echo. Her acclaimed self-released 2018 debut album “Worlds Left Behind” was followed by the 2nd full length “Fight/Flight” (2020) and “Still Dark Sky” (2021) on Cold Transmission. She has collaborated with artists such as Kill Shelter and Kindest Cuts.
Released November 2024 on Cold Transmission.
