A farewell from the void: after 7 (?!?) years of making hits together we have decided to lay the Ex-Vöid project to rest. We made 2 sick albums and played with some of our favourite bands and most importantly had a laugh the entire way through.
Our final show will (fittingly) be with our @gob_nation family on October 25th. Gonna be a big one in so many ways so don’t miss out on tix 🎟️
Thank you to everyone who enjoyed the tunes, came to the shows, put us on, put us out, put us up and put up with us—it’s been fun. Lots of love, EV 🖤❣️🤘

Ex-Vöid - featuring Lan McArdle (Joanna Gruesome, Lanny) and Owen Williams (The Tubs) - returnwith their second LP: In Love Again. Joined by Laurie Foster (bass) and George Rothman (drums), therecord sees the band ourish from a chaotic power punk group into a fully edged pop behemoth.Taking in elements of shoegaze (Pinhead), country (Outline), 90s indie rock (In Love Again) and prettymuch the entire history of guitar music, In Love Again reveals McArdle and Williams to be truestudents of perfect pop.The pair have been collaborating for a decade now, having played in Joanna Gruesome as teenagers, and InLove Again sees them both building on the sound they’ve honed together and embracing a new, unapologeticattitude towards songcraft. “We wanted to stop being cringed out by the idea of writing pop music. We’re a bitolder now and not trying to remind everyone we come from hardcore/DIY scenes. It’s still there in our DNA butwe wanted to see what might happen if we write the biggest bangers possible” says Williams. Backed by thetight-yet-raucous rhythm section of Foster and Rothman, In Love Again delivers as a huge pop album withoutsacricing any of the hardcore propulsion that characterised the band’s rst album.
Perhaps the most striking aspect of the Ex-Vöid sound is the sublime blend of McArdle and Williams’ vocals:close, folk-indebted harmonies which guide the listener through an onslaught of hooks. And while this isutilised to full effect on In Love Again, the album also sees McArdle make full use of their vocal range. Tuneslike July and Sara reveal a set of pipes and knack for chorus-writing rarely heard in today’s indie scene. Inkeeping with their new sound, McArdle and Williams have taken a more autobiographical, nuanced approachto lyric writing this time around, a move inuenced by touring with Waxahatchee.
