First sin­gle ‘Por­cu­pine’ is released today on Trans­gres­sive and Four-track EP MADDER! will be eleased Octo­ber 3, 2025. ‘Por­cu­pine’ is a song of a guy’s fas­ci­na­tion with a woman who pos­sess­es, shall we say, a prick­ly per­son­al­i­ty, all to a verse with a high­ly infec­tious organ riff that yields to heavy gui­tars in the cho­rus­es. “She’s a por­cu­pine,” Rus­sell croons—a metaphor or some­thing more troubling?
