The soloist and Paramore singer formed the band wiht frequent collaborator Daniel James, who also helped her write and produce tracks for her latest solo album, ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’.
They appeared on a joint show for Apple music 1 to announce the project this week, and confirmed that a new single called ‘Assignment’ was available to check out now.However, since the proclamation was made, fans have done some sleuthing and found that the new band’s Instagram page has been active since last summer, and posted a snippet of another new song all the way back in July.As well as that, those who searched for the newly-unveiled group on Bandcamp were surprised to find a third new single called ‘DMs’.
For the latter, the two of them take on a melancholic, shoegaze-inspired sound, with Williams singing about an ex, backed by grungy, distorted guitars. “Where I should keep this memory, that version of me/ She was real but she was weak, weak in the knees,” she sings, building to the emotive chorus: “I remember when I was her/ I remember when I was your girl.”
the currently untitled track available on the band’s Instagram page, however, takes on a more lively feel, with both Williams and James leaning into slightly more unsettling, abstract instrumentals. In the preview of the song,the singer is heard calmly delivering tongue-in-cheek lyrics like “I think about Wayne’s World the way some folks think about the Godfather“.
