NYC’s Hello Mary – Helena Straight, Stella Wave, and Mikaela Oppenheimer – recently announced the September 13 release of their new album Emita Ox via Frenchkiss Records. They also shared the single “Three,” a song that evokes the fairy tale of a young girl named Emita and her pet ox. Today the band returns with the official video for “Three” which was directed by Mark Cheche.

Emita Ox will mark the follow-up to Hello Mary’s acclaimed 2023 self-titled LP, which Rolling Stone called one of the year’s “sharpest, noisiest debuts. Since its release the band has ripped into prominence with their fuzzed-out anthems, establishing a darkly playful edge all their own. Possessing a sound that pushes harder into heavy distortion and psychedelic dreamscapes, the new LP sees Hello Mary building out their singular universe of gutsy, virtuosic alt-rock. The band co-produced the album alongside Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Indigo De Souza, Wednesday, Snail Mail) in Asheville, NC.
