Hayley Williams Releases Final Cut of 'Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party' With New Song 'Parachute'

Released on her Post Atlantic imprint, the set formalizes a fan-shaped rollout that let listener playlists guide its sequence.

Overview

  • The album arrives as an 18‑track, artist‑sequenced release on streaming, collecting the 17 songs shared earlier this summer and adding the new closer, “Parachute.”
  • Physical editions are available for pre‑order for November 7, including multiple vinyl variants and a limited run of 1,500 CD‑Rs designed with mixtape aesthetics.
  • Williams self‑released the project via her Post Atlantic label, with distribution by Secretly Distribution, following the end of her long Atlantic Records contract.
  • Produced primarily by Daniel James, the record features Williams and James performing most instruments with additional contributions from Brian Robert Jones, Joey Howard, and Jim‑E Stack on “True Believer.”
  • The rollout included a passcode‑gated Good Dye Young drop and standalone singles that spurred fan‑made playlists; videos for the title track, “Glum,” and “Kill Me” preceded the album as critics praised its louder, more percussive sound.
