Portland alternative rock band Alien Boy will unveil their new studio album this May.

Announced today, You Wanna Fade? will see a May 9 release on Get Better Records. To celebrate the announcement, a new single from the record titled “Changes” has been released. An accompanying music video, which can be seen here, was directed by Sjur Hjeltness of Long Drive Films. Vocalist/guitarist Sonia Weber said this about the new single:

"Change is always hard for me, even when I know I need it. There’s more and more ghosts the older I get. This song's for trying to acknowledge the ghosts and grieving an old life."

Pre-orders for You Wanna Fade? can be made here. This follows the band’s 2021 studio album Don't Know What I Am.
