LØLØ – the punisher
Today, pop-rock force LØLØ releases her biting new single, “the punisher,” a new offering from her forthcoming sophomore album, god forbid a girl spits out her feelings, arriving April 17 via Fearless Records.
Following the momentum of latest single “007,” this fresh release pushes the artist’s emotional candor and alt-rock intensity even further, sharpening the edges of the diaristic world she continues to build. LØLØ’s vocal performance teeters between controlled restraint and explosive release, embodying the song’s emotional whiplash.
LØLØ commented, “‘the punisher’ is about that sick twisted ritual we all do after a breakup: stalking your ex on the internet (and their new girlfriend…and her sister…and her sister’s boyfriend…and yes, even the new girlfriend’s sister’s dog) even though you KNOW it’s going to ruin your entire day. I wrote it during a moment where I caught myself doing exactly that. As I continued to piece together my ex’s new life through photos on the internet, I couldn’t understand why I felt addicted to punishing myself. It was almost like some part of me weirdly enjoyed it, as I found myself looking forward to checking in almost every day, playing his new life out in my head.”
She continued, “I guess there’s something weirdly fascinating about knowing exactly where to find your sore spot, and pressing on it anyway. Don’t tempt me with a good time!”
“the punisher” also deepens the narrative of radical honesty that defines the anticipated 13-track LP. Where LØLØ’s debut album wrestled with the desire to numb emotions out, this new era finds LØLØ embracing every inconvenient, messy, and intrusive thought in real time. The upcoming project strips things back sonically while amplifying her storytelling, sharp-tongued humor, unfiltered emotion, and the fearless self-expression that has become her signature. In addition to today’s new song debut, the album will also feature pre-released fan favorites, “the devil wears converse,” “american zombie,” and “me with no shirt on.”
With over 150M+ global streams, high-profile collaborations with Simple Plan and Maggie Lindemann, and performances at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Sad Summer, Slam Dunk, Download, Rock Am Ring, and multiple Warped Tours, LØLØ continues to carve out her lane as one of the most compelling, confessional voices in modern pop-rock. She will showcase this on-stage as she embarks on her headline tour across Europe and the U.K. this spring, commencing April 25 in Vienna, Austria and wrapping in Birmingham, U.K. on May 13. Thereafter, LØLØ will return to the Warped Tour stages, playing stops in Washington, D.C., Long Beach, Montreal, and Mexico City this summer.
