New York band MX LONELY have announced their new EP, PERFECT HOUSE, which is set to arrive October 2, 2026 via Julia’s War Recordings. Along with the announcement, the band have shared the first preview from the EP, “March 16th (Feat. Caitlin Starr),” which is out now with an official music video directed by longtime collaborator Owen Lehman.

March 16th’ is MX LONELY at their most unfiltered, pairing heavy guitars and soaring harmonies with lyrics that sit directly with the reality of violence and loss. The music video shows an all-out party with a black-and-white mosh pit.

The band explained how the song came together, saying, “March 16th was originally written as an instrumental during the recording of “ALL MONSTERS.” It was one we all really loved, but didn’t quite fit into the world of the record. When Caitlin came into our studio to track harmonies and additional guitar on “Ex Rae Punk,” we decided in the moment that it would be cool to try some ideas on “March” as well. Caitlin came up with the hook almost immediately, and Jake added a weaving harmony. Rae contributed the counter-melody “I love you so” later on in the tracking process. We did the final take of Caitlin and Jake’s verse/choruses that same night, with both of them tracking vocals live, simultaneously - singing the song through in entire takes, leaving a space for where Rae’s verse would ultimately land.

They continue, “Lyrically, “March 16th” references the Brown University shooting, which had happened the day before the session on December 13th, 2025. A friend of Caitlin’s had been in lockdown at the school in the aftermath. The song explores the proximity to tragedy and the cyclical nature of violence: we’ve been here before.”
