It’s been a hot minute since I last saw IDKHOW live (think February 2020), so I was excited at the prospect to see the band again. Though now ultimately just a solo project, Dallon Weekes is every bit the talent needed to succeed, and he certainly does so!

IDKHOW – Gloom Division, Album Review
Given that I was in another country last weekend, I did not have the opportunity to immediately listen to I Don’t Know How But They Found Me’s newest album, Gloom Division. And this is an album I was pretty excited about!

I’ll admit that I haven’t been keeping my ears open for much new music recently, but to be fair, I think it’s also been slow going for the last several months. I don’t know that 2024 will be as lucrative as 2023 in terms of new albums, but I’m hopeful. Anyway, here are a few new tracks that caught my eye recently.

Well folks, I feel like a full-length album from I Don’t Know How But They Found Me has been a long time coming. The band itself formed nearly five years ago, with the last new material coming in the form of a Christmas EP back in 2019. They finally put out a complete work entitled Razzmatazz, that seems stylistically different than their initial EP from 2018, 1981 Extended Play. I didn’t really love that EP, so I was hesitant and then pleasantly surprised when I finally sat down and get the album a listen!

What does Dallon Weekes of Panic! at the Disco noteriety plus Ryan Seaman of Falling in Reverse fame equal? A ridiculously long titled band called I Don’t Know How But They Found Me. And wouldn’t you know, their new EP isn’t even made up of words, called 1981. Fascinating.
Despite all of that potentially unnecessary, but fun, wordplay I really liked this six-track EP! If I had to give a gut genre labeling I would call them disco cabaret. Is that a thing? I have no clue, but it is now! It was a nice mix of both and the composition and lyrics were really fun, albeit a little morbid (“Choke”, for sure). One of those six tracks is a 30 second intro, but it bled nicely into their lead single, the aforementioned, “Choke.” It’s a standout for sure, but I found myself really enjoying “Do It All the Time” and “Social Climb.”
I’m definitely looking forward to more music from these two in the future and hopefully a tour!
