M(h)aol will release new album ‘Something Soft’ on May 16th.

The band are split between Dublin, Belfast, and London, with their 2023 debut album ‘Attachment Styles’ garnering underground hype.

Snapped up by Merge Records after the label caught an astonishing live set, M(h)aol have now laid out plans for their next move.

Out on May 16th, incoming album ‘Something Soft’ was produced alongside Jamie Hyland, featuring 11 tracks (and a kitten in the artwork).

New single ‘DM:AM’ is out now, a feral piece of caustic noise that moves with a real sense of purpose. Assured and anthemic, it finds M(h)aol leaning in to their strengths – the band comment…

“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.”

Tune in now.
