New York band MX LONELY are thrilled to share their new single ‘Anesthetic,’ ahead of their upcoming debut album, ALL MONSTERS, out via Julia’s War Recordings on February 20.

The new single finds vocalist Rae Hass reflecting on the internal struggle between sensation and paralysis, as they move from calmness to intensity. This shift from desolation to visceral power is encapsulated in the official music video directed by Owen Lehman.

“Anesthetic (noun) is defined as any substance that induces insensitivity to pain. ‘Anesthetic’ is a love song to the addict,” says Haas. “An ode to and feeling highs and lows rather than searching for something to numb the pain.”
