Hardly content to rest on our laurels at this late stage of 2023, Merge Records is happy to announce the signing of post-punk firebrandsM(h)aolnamely, Constance Keane, Jamie Hyland, Zo Greenway, and Sean Nolan! Were celebrating the news by becoming the North American home of their 2023 full-length debut,Attachment Styles, which arrives onNovember 17!
The Merge Records reissue ofAttachment Stylesfeatures the previously unreleased song Jack, which is both a staple of their mesmerizing live set and the first song M(h)aol wrote together as a band.
We wrote Jack in a tiny room in a block of artist studios that definitely probably werent meant for music-making, so wed have to go in at night time when everyone else was finished working,Keane explains. Having the first song you ever wrote being part of your live set every show, even eight years on, feels like quite a rare thing, so were really excited that Jack is finally getting the release it deserves.
Attachment Stylesis an album about social connection, queerness, and healing, taking the listener on a journey through various stages of self-acceptance and community-building. The album was hailed byNPR,Stereogum,The Guardian, and others, hitting just before M(h)aol captivated American audiences at a number of SXSW showcases. One of those showcases was headlined by Superchunk, which set the stage for their signing to Merge Records. Keep an eye out for more updates about M(h)aol, and familiarize yourself with singles for “Jack“, and music videos for otherAttachment Stylestracks “Period Sex” & “Asking For It“.
