Now, Now Surprise-Release Four-Song EP ‘01’

The duo describes the basement-made set as a focused return shaped by 23 years of collaboration.

Overview

  • Released Oct. 29, 2025, the EP is the band’s first multi-track project since 2018’s Saved.
  • A visualizer for the song “About You” debuted alongside the EP.
  • A press release says two tracks began in the late 2010s and developed as the pair refined their vision.
  • Brad Hale says the recordings capture lessons from their decades together and were crafted with carefully chosen gear in their freezing basement studio.
  • Pitchfork notes the set indulges the duo’s pop inclinations, as recent work includes KC Dalager’s 2023 KC Rae solo album and Hale’s production for artists such as Grimes, Claud, K. Flay, KennyHoopla and Donna Missal.
