The Hara have announced details of their brand-new album. Saturated in catharsis and vibrancy, The Fallout represents the band unapologetically wearing their heart on their sleeves and will be released on January 23rd via Mascot Records. They’ve also revealed the official video for their live-wire new single “Easier to Die.”
They will also join As December Falls on a UK tour in October and November 2025, before heading on a ten-date co-headline tour of Europe with Call Me Amour in November.
The Hara didn’t write this album for the industry. Why would they, when the strange, structureless world they live in has ground them down and made them spiral into doubt? And why would they, when they prize their authenticity as much as they do?
New single “Easier to Die” is about losing hope in the pursuit of success and getting consumed by negative thoughts. It grapples with the feelings of hopelessness that might leak into their view of their band’s trajectory and their general mental health.
They have already dropped glorious marker points from the record; from confrontational album opener “Trophy,” the smouldering and intoxicating recent single “Stay,” co-written with close friend Kid Brunswick, and the high-octane “The System.” All of these give a glimpse at their ability to meld affecting subject matter with a tear-the-roof-off dynamism.
In some ways, this struggle is inextricable from the other primary theme on The Fallout, namely The Hara’s relationship with the music industry. It gives with one hand and takes with the other, leaving those trying to survive within it in a pattern of constantly chasing highs and watching their mental health crumble when those highs turn to soul-destroying lows. The band are not just surviving, but thriving despite this.
When they were working, they were determined to evolve.
