DEADLETTER Announces New Album “Existence Is Bliss”, Shares New Song “To the Brim”
London-based post-punk band DEADLETTER, consisting of Zac Lawrence (vocals), Alfie Husband (drums), George Ullyott (bass), Will King (guitar), Sam Jones (guitar) and Poppy Richler (saxophone), has announced their upcoming sophomore album “Existence Is Bliss” will be released on February 27, 2026 via SO Recordings.
This marks their first album in two years since the 2024 debut album “Hysterical Strength”.
From the album, the band released the lead single called “To the Brim” on November 10, 2025.
The song is accompanied by the Laurence Hills-directed music video, starring Ash Powles.
It was written by Alfie Husband, George Ullyott, Nathan Pigott, Sam Jones, Will King, and Zac Lawrence. Produced by Ben Romans-Hopcraft.
The band said of the song, “To the Brim explores the experience of dealing and living with denial and the way in which it will leave you feeling incapacitated and overflowing (brimming!) with despair. Musically, we wanted a fresh start, perhaps in reaction to that denial.”- The new album comprises 12 tracks, produced by Ben Romans-Hopcraft.
The band said of the album, “We are surrounded, totally enveloped by impurity and subjected to the lassitude its relentless jaws leave behind. To choose to live amidst this reality , as opposed to merely exist in it, is, to paraphrase a great philosopher, heroic. The temptation to choose the latter is a powerful, all too familiar sensation, yet, to look deep into one’s own eyes, to choose to embrace the struggles of life and use the world’s oxygen not to breathe, but to act, to indulge; that is what makes us people. Existence is Bliss, but to LIVE is a great turmoil whose payoff is without bounds.” -
