media release: I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW) release “New Invention'' ft. “enchanting, playful” (Ones to Watch) Tessa Violet, a fresh take on chart-topping single from the band’s “sparkly” (Kerrang!) debut LP Razzmatazz that arrived in October 2020 via Fearless Records. The release follows the announcement of their massive 40+ date North American Tour that kicked off November 2, a performance at Reading and Leeds, and a sold out show in London.
On the track, lead singer Dallon Weekes says, “We had an opportunity to remix ‘New Invention’, and add in some of the elements that we use on stage that don’t appear in the album version. Like piano and backing singers. We wanted to make it even more different than that, so we reached out to Tessa Violet, who is amazing! Her voice is such a great addition, I really love how it turned out.”
Tessa: “I’m such a fan of iDKHOW, so I was super excited when they reached out to have me on ‘New Invention.’ The song is so seductive and mysterious and adding another voice makes it feel like a whole new take on the song, almost like a conversation happening - I can’t wait for everyone to hear this version.”
