Irish trio M(h)aol have announced details surrounding their new album ‘Something Soft’ their first major release since signing with Merge Records. The 11-track follow-up to 2023’s ‘Attachment Styles’ lands on 16th May, featuring ‘Pursuit’, ‘Snare’ and new single ‘DM:AM’ which was premiered via BBC 6 Music’s Huw Stephens.
Speaking of new single ‘DM:AM’, the band say “This song is about men DM’ing women online and then getting aggressive when they don’t get the response they want. They quickly turn to insults about the women, and then once the woman says she’ll expose what they’ve done, she gets a laundry list of reasons why he behaves like this and how much he has to lose, which is meant to make the women feel sorry for them.”
