Did you think they were done? Earlier this year, Mx Lonely unleashed their debut album All Monsters, which exploded with the kind of ominous, alluring shoegaze that populates the reliable Julia's War label. Now, they're already back to announce a new EP called Perfect House.
The lead single, "March 16th," is out today, and it features Brooklyn-based musician Caitlin Starr. About it, Mx Lonely explain:
“March 16th” was originally written as an instrumental during the recording of “ALL MONSTERS.” It was one we all really loved, but didn’t quite fit into the world of the record. When Caitlin came into our studio to track harmonies and additional guitar on “Ex Rae Punk,” we decided in the moment that it would be cool to try some ideas on “March” as well. Caitlin came up with the hook almost immediately, and Jake added a weaving harmony. Rae contributed the counter-melody “I love you so” later on in the tracking process. We did the final take of Caitlin and Jake’s verse/choruses that same night, with both of them tracking vocals live, simultaneously - singing the song through in entire takes, leaving a space for where Rae’s verse would ultimately land.
Lyrically, “March 16th” references the Brown University shooting, which had happened the day before the session on December 13th, 2025. A friend of Caitlin’s had been in lockdown at the school in the aftermath. The song explores the proximity to tragedy and the cyclical nature of violence: we’ve been here before.
