Dear friends, all good things must end.
Hello Stranger has been a magnificent journey. We’ve been privileged to tour the country, play iconic stages, and share our music with millions of people. It has been the experience of a lifetime for all of us. But today, we’re announcing the end of that journey.
However, we’d like to leave you with one more offering. “Goodbye Friends” is our final EP and brings together three unreleased songs, one from each of our studio records. We hope you will enjoy these tracks as a parting gift. Link in bio.
There will be much more music to come. Alex and Sam have formed a new group called Luna Drive and they will continue to release songs together under that moniker. Please check @lunadriveofficial out and give them a follow!
There may come a time in the future when Hello Stranger reunites for another ride. But, for now, we’re looking back with gratitude on all the wonderful memories we’ve made with this band that we loved deeply.
Thank you and goodbye, friends.
Hello Stranger - Holy Business (Official Music Video)
LYRICS:
I’m so bored of it
The cult of our stars
There’s no weight to it
Except for the scars
How’d you worship it
With your hand on the book
There’s no word of it
If you’d bother to look
You said you’re holy, but no one can tell
It’s a ghost dance called romance
It’s free when sold
Is this the worst of it?
Losses and gains
Will the balance sheet
Unlock the gates?
Is this the worth of it?
You prey on our prayers
And you’re laughing like you’re high while garden slowly dies
You said you’re holy, but no one can tell
It’s a ghost dance called romance
It’s free when sold
Beware the mad man on the loose
He’s versed in numbers, but not in truths
Beware the hand you cannot see
It’s tying knots with thread took from the seams
You said you’re holy, but no one can tell
It’s a ghost dance called romance
It’s free
You said you’re lonely, but no one can tell
It’s a ghost dance called romance
It’s free
Age of Disenchantment is out now!!! Stream it on your preferred service or purchase directly from us. Link in bio ⚡️Thank you so much to everyone that worked on this record. It was a long, long, long journey, but here it is! We couldn’t be more proud! ⚡️⚡️⚡️#newalbum #newmusic #altrock #alternativr #releaseday
Hello Stranger - Edge of Light (Official Music Video)
Lyrics:
You can’t set me aside
No one turns me away again
The future is under my thumb
I was only and now I’m one
You kept me on the edge of the light
You kept me always holding the knife
You kept me on the edge of the light
What a sendoff but you know I’m never gonna go
The sky is empty tonight
Your gods just got in the way
The habit of hope will divide
Believe me, deceive me, appease me, leave me
How did you lose your way so truly
How do you care so little for life
How did you waste all you’re given
For less than you had

Hello Stranger - Good Wolf (Official Music Video)
LYRICS:
The phantom runs past clouded skies
Everyone looks with haunted eyes
You take a turn in the insane asylum
Said you wouldn’t
Say you wouldn’t
Gnashing teeth on savage dreams
Moonlight kick or day vaccine?
Endless nights breed callous teens
The wolf is coming
The wolf is coming
Is it now, yet?
A youthless regret
The damage done by adoration
Is it now, yet?
A cornered Juliet
Who said she longed for more
First light
Don’t leave
Don’t give me one more goodnight
Tell me it’s
Too late to
Turn good wolf from his nature
Ooo...tell me it's...
Too late to
Turn good wolf from his nature
The opening scene to a pointless film
Wasted time with hateful skill
Patient lies coat a pointed pill
Said you wouldn’t
Say you wouldn’t
The king of all that’s fair in war
The kind of weakness we adore
Noise and smoke and trust he wore
The wolf is coming
The wolf is coming
Is it now, yet?
A youthless regret
The damage done by adoration
Is it now, yet?
A cornered Juliet
Who said she longed for more
First light
Don’t leave
Don’t give me one more goodnight
Tell me it’s
Too late to
Turn good wolf from his nature
Ooo...tell me it's...
Too late to
Turn good wolf from his nature
Is it now, yet?
A youthless regret
The damage done by adoration
Is it now, yet?
A cornered Juliet
Who said she longed for more
First light
Don’t leave
Don’t give me one more goodnight
Tell me it’s
Too late to
Turn good wolf from his nature
Ooo...tell me it's...
Too late to
Turn good wolf from his nature

Youngblood (Official Music Video)!
The world was mine to lose
But what you are given is the hardest to use
I burned down the wasteland
Like snow over ashes, like glass back to sand
Trapped in the stories of some foggy yesterdays
Whiskey, on bedside stands of rooms where no one stays
Ooo…
I can’t take comfort in the forgotten masquerades
This city flickers with stray light
Like a sign in a language that I cannot write
Though long, patient is night
The end is not idle
And uncomfortably bright

This is an ending. Not THE ending, but an ending nevertheless.
Our new record, Age of Disenchantment, drops on 8/9/2024. It’s the culmination, the destination, the zenith of everything we’ve built since we released Long Division back in January of 2018.
We’re so proud to finally unveil this album - our best work yet. And, though we didn’t know it at the time, it’s the conclusion of a three album arc we’ve developed over 7 years of being a band.
To celebrate the release date announcement, we just dropped a music video for Youngblood! You can find that and the link to pre-order Age of Disenchantment in our bio.
