Toronto-based alternative trio FEATURETTE is gearing up to drop their new album PANIC PILLS, slated for release on January 31, 2025 (via the band’s recently established label Division11). Pre-save now. Alongside this announcement, the band reveals the explosive new music video for their latest single, “NEXT LIFE” (co-written with Ryan Guldemond of Mother Mother). Watch here. Fronted by powerhouse Lexie Jay (Vox) and backed by bandmates Marc Koecher (Keys/Synth/Guitar) and Jon Fedorsen (Drums/Synths), FEATURETTE has been pushing the forefront of alternative electronic pop since their inception with genre-bending dark, bouncy, addictive sounds and stimulating lyrics fashioned deep from within their subterranean studio, Illegal Audio.
The band will embark on their ‘Till Death Do Us Party’ Ontario tour with CARYS on November 14th,with stops in Oshawa, Kingston, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto, and London. “Getting to play a tour with my best friend is nuts! CARYS has been the loml (love of my life) since the day we first got stranded in the Newark airport for 24 hours on our way to Madrid together,” shares Lexie Jay. Tour details can be found below and at www.featurettemusic.com.
“One of our greatest undertakings yet as FEATURETTE, we’re leaning into our namesake by crafting ‘featurettes’ as a regular part of our single releases,” shares Lexie Jay. “For this particular short, I was really inspired by an episode of Animaniacs I saw as a kid. It was about a beautiful piece of gold wrapping paper and its journey to becoming trash after being discarded once the gift it was meant to wrap had been opened. I wanted to take the same concept and apply it to a coffee cup (enter: Regular Joe), and see what that character might do with their life given a second chance—a Next Life. What adventures they might go on, and who might affect their story along the way.”
