wilt call Nirvana, Radiohead, and Slow Pulp cornerstones of their sound, but none more so than Hole, whose 1998 anthem “Celebrity Skin” gave them their title. Today, the rising alt-rock quartet take the furious, darkly hooky edge of their namesake and pour it into their latest single, “bundy.” It’s the first glimpse of their long-simmering debut album, made with producer Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, the Linda Lindas).
“‘bundy’ is an ode to the feeling of being trapped in a hurtful love,” vocalist Chelsea Rifkin tells AP. “Knowing that someone isn’t good for you, but you keep going back anyway. You know that eventually they’ll break you, but you aren’t strong enough to be the one to pull away.”

In tandem with the single, wilt also have a string of new tour dates, including their own headline shows in between opening for Jutes and Mothica. See the full routing here and the “bundy” video below, where Rifkin gets buried by her feelings, literally and metaphorically.
