Today, I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW), the musical project of Salt Lake City-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dallon Weekes, releases 'GLOOMTOWN BRATS,' the second single off his forthcoming sophomore album, GLOOM DIVISION (23rd Feb, Concord Records). For Weekes, the Joe DiMaggio quote "rich boys don't make it to the majors” became his guiding light growing up poor while trying to find his footing as a musician. The mantra shines through in the theatrical, bass-heavy new anthemic single that centers an apocalypse of vanities - the nepotistic lifestyles that are rarely earned and always flaunted.
Produced by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, MGMT, Weezer), GLOOM DIVISION showcases a boundary-pushing fusion of R&B, post-punk and art-pop, exploring themes ranging from love and obsession to satanic panic and neurodivergence. Recorded at Fridmann's Tarbox Road Studios and Weekes' own basement studio, GLOOM DIVISION is a testament to the power of collaboration and fearless artistic expression.
iDKHOW has garnered nearly one billion streams worldwide to date, with two million monthly listeners on Spotify. The new album follows iDKHOW's critically acclaimed debut, Razzmatazz, which included the #1 Alternative radio hit 'Leave Me Alone,' and the previous EP 1981 Extended Play that included RIAA certified GOLD-certified single 'Choke.' They have performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ellen and CBS This Morning: Saturday, and shared stages with Post Malone, The Killers and more.
